1 | PCRE LICENCE |
2 | ------------ | |

4 | PCRE is a library of functions to support regular expressions whose syntax | |
5 | and semantics are as close as possible to those of the Perl 5 language. | |

14 | Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose on any | |
15 | computer system, and to redistribute it freely, subject to the following | |
16 | restrictions: | |
17 | ||
18 | 1. This software is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | |
19 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |
20 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. | |
21 | ||
22 | 2. The origin of this software must not be misrepresented, either by | |
23 | explicit claim or by omission. In practice, this means that if you use | |
24 | PCRE in software that you distribute to others, commercially or | |
25 | otherwise, you must put a sentence like this | |
26 | ||
27 | Regular expression support is provided by the PCRE library package, | |
28 | which is open source software, written by Philip Hazel, and copyright | |
29 | by the University of Cambridge, England. | |
30 | ||
31 | somewhere reasonably visible in your documentation and in any relevant | |
32 | files or online help data or similar. A reference to the ftp site for | |
33 | the source, that is, to | |
34 | ||
35 | ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/ | |
36 | ||
37 | should also be given in the documentation. However, this condition is not | |
38 | intended to apply to whole chains of software. If package A includes PCRE, | |
39 | it must acknowledge it, but if package B is software that includes package | |
40 | A, the condition is not imposed on package B (unless it uses PCRE | |
41 | independently). | |
42 | ||
43 | 3. Altered versions must be plainly marked as such, and must not be | |
44 | misrepresented as being the original software. | |
45 | ||
46 | 4. If PCRE is embedded in any software that is released under the GNU | |
47 | General Purpose Licence (GPL), or Lesser General Purpose Licence (LGPL), | |
48 | then the terms of that licence shall supersede any condition above with | |
49 | which it is incompatible. | |
50 | ||
51 | The documentation for PCRE, supplied in the "doc" directory, is distributed | |
52 | under the same terms as the software itself. | |
