FastStringSearch
Hello Luis, Tim Starling's FastStringSearch is very useful but not used often enough. One reason is this note it contains: Several source files were taken from GNU grep, and are under the GNU General Public License. The PHP license is incompatible, so a PHP binary containing this extension is probably not redistributable under any license. I know you're busy; but, if you can keep this issue in some corner of your mind, maybe one day a simple solution will strike you all of a sudden: in that case, please let us know so that at some point someone can package it and we can ship it for everyone's profit. :) Thanks, Nemo 13:46, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Oy... that's a challenging problem. Thanks for flagging it for me, I'll try to find some time to think it through and see if there is anything creative there. Probably not, though, unless we wanted to ask FSF very, very nicely to relicense the files, which they do very rarely :( (For my own future reference: actual source. -LuisVilla (talk) 18:53, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
