.SH NAME
fstrcmp \- fuzzy string compare library
.XX "" "The README file"
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \f[I]fstrcmp\fP 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.
.SS 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.
