When running the tool gosec, it throws an error on the generated code, for the G110 rule - Potential DoS vulnerability via decompression bomb.

G110 (CWE-409): Potential DoS vulnerability via decompression bomb (Confidence: MEDIUM, Severity: MEDIUM)

io.Copy(&buf, gz)

It is advised to use io.CopyN when doing a decompression. Related issue - securego/gosec#433

As a workaround, using the -nocompress flag causes the data to be included uncompressed and therefore avoids this issue. I'll be doing this until #50 is merged.
