Note

I am looking for a better algo that is small code and more efficient and precise, I search and only found modules on other languages that compare whole strings, or compare string lenghts, or compare filenames, or huge try...except chains of that. My algo is what antivirus do basically, it wont need all license files shipped to compare to, if you have a better algo that is faster smaller code and works at compile-time, just send a pull request, and it will be merged.
