Wildcards like * and ? match / in the specification, yet
the attached test case produces a mismatch:

Hi Julian,

licenserecon handles wildcards using /usr/bin/ls
From your example:

ls */*.c
ls: cannot access '*/*.c': No such file or directory

However;
ls */*/*.c
a/b/test.c

ISTM that it's your test copyright that mishandles wildcards ;-)

Cheers,
Peter
