Hi, This: http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/texinfo/texinfo-4/texinfo/lib/xstrdup.c and this: http://ctan.mackichan.com/systems/luatex/base/source/texk/kpathsea/xstrdup.c
are two of the many copies of the same thing on the web out there. So, I (idly) wonder about the following technicalities: a) is the GNU licence a problem? That is, could someone claim that Corinthia is now GNU? b) What actually is copyrighted here -- the entire file, the name, or just this particular shape of xstrdup? c) do I need to 'invent' a new way of making xstrdup? This may be a trite example (and I'm pretty sure that nothing bad will happen), but the general point does somewhat confuse me --- with music it's 8 similar notes IIRC.
