    OpenBSD appear to gotten permission from Larry Wall to put patch(1) under
    a BSD license. They also appear to have made a reasonable number of
    improvements since then, including better POSIX compliance. It may
    be worth looking at :). I don't know what version of patch they started
    with though.
