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
