Oops. Chuck caught a licensing problem with the openbsd version of
strptime...
Bad news. The stuff you took from OpenBSD is licensed under the BSD
w/advertising clause. And, since it is owned by Klaus Klein and/or "The
NetBSD Foundation" it does NOT fall under the blanket changeover (from
w/advert clause to NO advert clause) issued by the UCalBerkeley folks.
Darn. I checked FreeBSD and I think it has similar issues. If someone
would look at the following URLs and verify that the copyright on the
freebsd/netbsd stuff is bad as well, I'd appreciate it.
FreeBSD:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/stdtime/strptime.c?rev=1.
17.2.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
NetBSD:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/basesrc/lib/libc/time/strptime.c?rev=1.2
2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
Hmm... What about this:
http://ftp.uninett.no/pub/OpenBSD/src/kerberosIV/src/lib/roken/strptime.c
Seems to be clear of any advert clause.
