1PCRE2 LICENCE
2-------------
3
4PCRE2 is a library of functions to support regular expressions whose syntax
5and semantics are as close as possible to those of the Perl 5 language.
6
7Releases 10.00 and above of PCRE2 are distributed under the terms of the "BSD"
8licence, as specified below, with one exemption for certain binary
9redistributions. The documentation for PCRE2, supplied in the "doc" directory,
10is distributed under the same terms as the software itself. The data in the
11testdata directory is not copyrighted and is in the public domain.
12
13The basic library functions are written in C and are freestanding. Also
14included in the distribution is a just-in-time compiler that can be used to
15optimize pattern matching. This is an optional feature that can be omitted when
16the library is built.

85EXEMPTION FOR BINARY LIBRARY-LIKE PACKAGES
86------------------------------------------
87
88The second condition in the BSD licence (covering binary redistributions) does
89not apply all the way down a chain of software. If binary package A includes
90PCRE2, it must respect the condition, but if package B is software that
91includes package A, the condition is not imposed on package B unless it uses
92PCRE2 independently.
