The patch replace code in Pascal with some code in C as a compression test. The grep part isn't really relevant, it should be clear to anyone who finds a match. > > If you have a strong objection we will replace it with some more public domain text.

We'll do that. I say Why? You say Ok :-) > > What is the license issue? > > The issue is that the Pascal code from the Calgary Corpus (a standard body of compression test input) doesn't have a license or explicitly say that it is in the public domain so it isn't clear if we can relicense it as BSD-3. We are being overly cautious here but we didn't want to run into any potential license issues. OK Please explain in the commit log.
