FW: FW: strcasestr() patch proposal


Hi,

Good news! The original author granted me the permission to use the file
with the BSD license if his e-mail address is modified. So here is an
updated file. I hope this time, it meets all requirements.

Thank you everyone for all your help. I have never though that contributing
to an Open Source project could be that tricky.

Greetings,

I herewith grant you permission to use the code under a BSD license.
The only condition is that you replace all references to
berg@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
with <srb+strstr@cuci.nl>
