Stefan Bodewig commented on RAT-7:
----------------------------------
The FullTextMatchingLicense base class I extracted out of the OASIS license for
MIT and GPL may already be usable for that.
It matches on multiple lines, ignores whitespace (in fact everything that's not
a character or a number) and is mostly case-insensitive. It doesn't do regexes
at all, though, it performs a substring match. Actually I now realize this
isn't true as it uses a regex internally, it would just strip out any special
characters from the pattern the way it works right now. Shouldn't be too
difficult to adapt, in particular since we don't need to care about backwards
compatibility (the class is new).
