This test has a few problems: * I don't want to vendor third party projects into the main compiler repository such as kuba-zip just for test cases. If we want to test third party projects, that should be a separate repository dedicated to that purpose. * Ideally tests would be isolated to test a particular thing, rather than have a lot of unrelated logic that is not what is primarily being tested. * Ideally tests will not be named after GitHub issues, but named after the thing that is being tested. And not testing for the absence of a bug, but for the existence of correct behavior. Aside from these issues, it's also failing in the LLVM 16 branch: ``` kuba-zip/zip.c:276:16: error: call to undeclared function 'fileno'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] kuba-zip/zip.c:277:14: error: call to undeclared function 'ftruncate'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] kuba-zip/zip.c:364:11: error: call to undeclared function 'symlink'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] ``` These are not interesting failures related to the thing actually being tested; this is busywork related to the fact that we vendor third party code. So, that is why I chose to delete this test case instead of repair it.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
