Hello,

I have already posted this to the users mailing list but i guess it's more appropriate to have it here.

Subject: Copyright on wildmatch.c
To: "git-users@googlegroups.com" <git-users@googlegroups.com>
Hello,

I'm trying to implement support for gitignore files in the_silver_searcher (https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher). It is a source code optimized version of grep. And it is way faster than ack.

The problems at hand is that I'd like to use wildmatch.c and some dependencies (hex.c, some portions of compat-util.h) but it seems that git is GPL whereas tss is Apache2 licensed.

Is there any possibility to re-license the files above to Apache2 for the TSS project?

If not, is there any c library that provides support gitignore patterns?

Thank you very much, Bufolo
