The post office claims a copyright on this information and does not

(Based on the telephone directory cases and the Westlaw case, I doubt their
copyright claim would hold up in court, but I am not a lawyer.)

You can get them from the USPS.  I don't know how much they charge:

I once wrote a Perl program to look up zip codes at their web site, which
you're welcome to.  You could lookup all 100,000 and then parse the output.
This could take a long time, depending on your network connection.  I just
ran 20 to check it and it took me 40 seconds, but I'm going through a proxy
which might slow things down a bit.
