Dear Maintainer,

The function recmatch in match.c has the following nonfree license,
which forbids selling for profit:

     Copyright (C) 1990-1992 Mark Adler, Richard B. Wales, Jean-loup Gailly,
     Kai Uwe Rommel and Igor Mandrichenko.

     Permission is granted to any individual or institution to use, copy,
     or redistribute this software so long as all of the original files are
     included unmodified, that it is not sold for profit, and that this copy-
     right notice is retained.

The function was taken from zip's util.c when zip was under a nonfree
license. Parabola has a patch that replaces it with recmatch from a
newer version of zip, under a free license:
https://git.parabola.nu/abslibre.git/tree/libre/unzip/match.patch
(though the part which changes allowed to aLlowed should be removed)

Thanks
