According to Corinna Vinschen on 12/20/2007 3:11 AM:

| or what about Boyer-Moore instead:

| Using one of them is certainly not a licensing violation since all code

| textbooks (Knuth, Sedgewick, et al.).  Given that, I don't think you're

I took you up on that, and submitted an even better implementation to the
newlib list, shared among memmem, strstr, and strcasestr
(Knuth-Morris-Pratt and Boyer-Moore both require memory allocation, but
not Two-Way).  If Jeff gives the go-ahead for newlib, then we'll need to
delete cygwin's copy of memmem.cc.
