> As it turns out, “FAB” stands for Fabrice Bellard, who next to being the original developer of widely used programs such as FFmpeg and QEMU, is also the creator of an executable compression utility called LZEXE, developed in 1990.

Is there anything where you don't find Fabrice Bellard along the way if you just dig deep enough?

Even the commercial product PKLite by PKWARE (of PKZIP fame) was "inspired" by LZEXE [1]:
