NAME
fstrcmp - fuzzy string compare library
DESCRIPTION
The fstrcmp package provides a library which may be used to make fuzzy
comparisons of strings and byte arrays. It also provides simple
commands for use in shell scripts.
License
The library is licensed under the GNU GPL. The code is derived from
the fuzzy comparisons functions in GNU Gettext, which is GNU GPL
licensed. The GNU Gettext fuzzy comparisons functions were, in turn,
derived from GNU Diff, which is also GNU GPL licensed.
These license details are important, because only GPL licensed
programs, or compatibly licensed programs, may link against this
library.
