Bug#814276: Non-Free file: src/stdlib/SDL_qsort.c

[Gareth McCaughan]

(My apologies if this email doesn't thread properly;
I am not a subscriber to pkg-sdl-maintainers so all
I can do is get the subject field right.)

I've just had my attention drawn to this discussion;
I'm the original author of the code in question.

1. Yes, the stupid home-grown licence was inconsistent
    as stupid home-grown licences so often are. Sorry.

2. No, there is no LGPL violation; I took only broad
    ideas, not (in any sense) code from the GNU qsort
    implementation.

The version now available from my website
(https://www.mccaughan.org.uk/g/software.html)
uses the zlib/libpng licence which is simpler,
less restrictive, and OSI-approved, and its
comments make it explicit that "stolen" did
not indicate copyright infringement.

This is all probably moot since SDL is now using
another implementation, but I thought I might as well
fix and clarify what I can.
