unzip patch - license and origin?
Hi. I'm reviewing some of the Trisquel modifications compared to Ubuntu and stumbled upon the unzip package. The helper script is here:
https://gitlab.trisquel.org/trisquel/package-helpers/-/blob/nabia/helpers/make-unzip
and the patch used is here:
https://gitlab.trisquel.org/trisquel/package-helpers/-/blob/aramo/helpers/DATA/unzip/match.patch
Who wrote this patch, and how is it licensed? Where does it come from? Is it derived from diff'ing Unzip with another fork of Unzip, or an earlier version of it?
The make-unzip script mentions the following link as a reference:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2011-09/msg00001.html
However I can't find any patch to unzip in that thread, only discussion about replacing unzip with p7zip.
The code quality in both the patch and the original file makes me feel a bit uneasy, but I don't have an exploit.
