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. |

1. This software is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |

2. The origin of this software must not be misrepresented, either by |
| 23 |
nigel |
49 |
explicit claim or by omission. In practice, this means that if you use |
| 24 |
nigel |
63 |
PCRE in software that you distribute to others, commercially or |
| 25 |
nigel |
49 |
otherwise, you must put a sentence like this |
| 26 |

|
| 27 |

Regular expression support is provided by the PCRE library package, |
| 28 |
nigel |
49 |
which is open source software, written by Philip Hazel, and copyright |
| 29 |
|
|
by the University of Cambridge, England. |

somewhere reasonably visible in your documentation and in any relevant |
| 32 |
nigel |
49 |
files or online help data or similar. A reference to the ftp site for |
| 33 |
|

the source, that is, to |

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). |

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 |
nigel |
53 |
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. |

The documentation for PCRE, supplied in the "doc" directory, is distributed |
| 52 |
|
|
under the same terms as the software itself. |
