No, it has a long list of requirements that my not be onerous, but they 
aren't compatible with GPL (ie they require that you make changes in 
certain ways).

That said, if somebody wants to use that qsort, the thing to do is to ask 
Gareth for permission, maybe he just says "sure". For example, for git, 
you might as well remove the whole unaligned case, and quite frankly, that 
#ifdef DEBUG_QSORT is some of the ugliest I've ever seen and should be 
cleaned up (why didn't he just use a "dbg_printf()" macro like everybody 
else? Even if it requires double parenthesis for ols-style C portability, 
it's cleaner than what is there now).
