wildmatch.c comes from rsync.

Conveniently, newer versions of rsync are under the GPLv3, which
according to [1] is compatible with the Apache license.  The code is
at lib/wildmatch.c from git://git.samba.org/rsync.git.  It hasn't
changed since the rsync license change.

Duy, what would you think of making git's wildmatch.c "GPL v2 or v3,
at your option"?

Thanks,
Jonathan
