.diff and .patch files should probably be exempted from this rule at the

Hi Paolo,
I debated that.
However, a patch will contain a space-TA
Any news ?

That's unfortunate, because it violates POSIX. Is it worth filing a bug

libvirt just started using strcasestr() since it is LGPLv2+, but I would
rather it used c_strcasestr() to avoid problems with locales and
multi-byte characters. Any chance we can get the c-strcasestr module
relicensed to LGPLv2+ instead of its current LGPLv3+?

I recently wrote an interactive tool licensed under GPLv3, and you may
recall that GPLv3 says this:
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Finally, what is the appropriate license for this file?
Can you check how gdb's source files are set up?
(show copying, show warranty)
Sorry, I can't easily do so myself just now.
GPLv3 doesn't permit modifications, and I'm not sure removing some
parts of the file and keeping others

GCC calls it "gnu_printf" but it actually denotes the C90 or C99 s
This still lacks the ability to query non-blocking status of mingw
sockets; but that should be possible in a future patch in much the
same manner as fchdir.
