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.

Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose on any

computer system, and to redistribute it freely, subject to the following
|
| 16 |
restrictions:
|

|
| 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

|

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.
|

|
| 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.
