The leading "4" comes from the Pascal length of the string. If you include this check, you should match against the full string, verbatim, to avoid false negatives. Or the FPC folks could alter the copyright notice to indicate that this is a reimplementation. In a certain sense, this is not even a false positive because the code appears to be rather literal translation. There are other ways to detect zlib copies, but those would detect this one, too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
