I think the problem is in the naming of the file, rather than in Ema= cs's
treatment of files that end in ".LIB".

Although no-one has yet answered my question why Emacs takes thes= e patterns to be case-insensitive even on case-sensitive filing systems.

We could add a special ad-hoc rule for files called COPYING.LIB, but I'= d
rather we fix the original problem instead.
"For years" is actually not that long ;-)

My repeated experience over the decades is that absent considera= ble effort, "for years" rapidly becomes "for decades". = Given that we're dealing not just with future but also with past softwa= re releases in this case, I'm not optimistic.

Nor however do I suggest adding special ad-hoc rules if it= 's possible to avoid them, hence my question about case.
