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

That discussion seems to have just died off.
Whom should i write to about making the license change effective? You
(Duy Nguyen) seemed to be fine with the license change. Can you, or
anyone else, further guide me on the process on making sure i can use
the file(s) in TSS?
Thank you.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think after you double check
- what Jonathan Neider wrote about GPLv3 and Apache2 is true
- perhaps check with Anthony Ramine, who is the only person besides
me that has made changes in wildmatch.c, in b79c0c3 (wildmatch:
properly fold case everywhere - 2013-05-30)
then wildmatch.c is good for reuse. You probably need to check with
other people who made changes in hex.c and git-compat-util.h.
git-shortlog and git-blame could be used to get the email list of
these people. But maybe it's just easier to rewrite those, hex.c is
not big and I suspect you don't need much of git-compat-util.h.

I'm not sure on how i would rewrite hex.c it is just an array.
From git-compat-util.h i only needed a subset of the file (Lines 699
to 785), as you assumed, but rewriting it also seems pointless as it
is only a few defines and 4 very short functions.
I have asked everybody who changed anything in those lines for their
approval. I hope they all agree.

Hello,
I'm writing to you in regards to the files ctypes.c
which you have modified part of in the git project.
I'm currently working on integrating gitignore pattern matching into
the_sivler_searcher(http://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher). PR
https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher/pull/614
For that i needed wildmatch.c and it's dependencies. That is parts of
ctypes.c lines 8 to 31.
Unfortunately TSS is Apache licensed wheras git is GPL, those licenses
are incompatible and thus i ask if you agree that your portion if the
code is also licensed under Apache2 for the use in TSS.
You can follow the discussion under
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/264312
Thank you very much,
Bufolo
This is just an email to all the people i have written in private
about relicensing the files in need in TSS so they can reply to this
email and it be recorded in the mailing list.
The files are part of ctypes.c hex.c git-compat-util.h.
