99The TRE regular expression implementation (src/regex/reg* and
100src/regex/tre*) is Copyright © 2001-2008 Ville Laurikari and licensed
101under a 2-clause BSD license (license text in the source files). The
102included version has been heavily modified by Rich Felker in 2012, in
103the interests of size, simplicity, and namespace cleanliness.
104
105Much of the math library code (src/math/* and src/complex/*) is
106Copyright © 1993,2004 Sun Microsystems or
107Copyright © 2003-2011 David Schultz or
108Copyright © 2003-2009 Steven G. Kargl or
109Copyright © 2003-2009 Bruce D. Evans or
110Copyright © 2008 Stephen L. Moshier
111and labelled as such in comments in the individual source files. All
112have been licensed under extremely permissive terms.
113
114The ARM memcpy code (src/string/arm/memcpy_el.S) is Copyright © 2008
115The Android Open Source Project and is licensed under a two-clause BSD
116license. It was taken from Bionic libc, used on Android.
117
118The implementation of DES for crypt (src/crypt/crypt_des.c) is
119Copyright © 1994 David Burren. It is licensed under a BSD license.
120
121The implementation of blowfish crypt (src/crypt/crypt_blowfish.c) was
122originally written by Solar Designer and placed into the public
123domain. The code also comes with a fallback permissive license for use
124in jurisdictions that may not recognize the public domain.
125
126The smoothsort implementation (src/stdlib/qsort.c) is Copyright © 2011
127Valentin Ochs and is licensed under an MIT-style license.
128
129The x86_64 port was written by Nicholas J. Kain and is licensed under
130the standard MIT terms.
131
132The mips and microblaze ports were originally written by Richard
133Pennington for use in the ellcc project. The original code was adapted
134by Rich Felker for build system and code conventions during upstream
135integration. It is licensed under the standard MIT terms.
136
137The mips64 port was contributed by Imagination Technologies and is
138licensed under the standard MIT terms.
139
140The powerpc port was also originally written by Richard Pennington,
141and later supplemented and integrated by John Spencer. It is licensed
142under the standard MIT terms.
143
144All other files which have no copyright comments are original works
145produced specifically for use as part of this library, written either
146by Rich Felker, the main author of the library, or by one or more
147contibutors listed above. Details on authorship of individual files
148can be found in the git version control history of the project. The
149omission of copyright and license comments in each file is in the
150interest of source tree size.
151
152In addition, permission is hereby granted for all public header files
153(include/* and arch/*/bits/*) and crt files intended to be linked into
154applications (crt/*, ldso/dlstart.c, and arch/*/crt_arch.h) to omit
155the copyright notice and permission notice otherwise required by the
156license, and to use these files without any requirement of
157attribution. These files include substantial contributions from:
158
159Bobby Bingham
160John Spencer
161Nicholas J. Kain
162Rich Felker
163Richard Pennington
164Stefan Kristiansson
165Szabolcs Nagy
166
167all of whom have explicitly granted such permission.

169This file previously contained text expressing a belief that most of
170the files covered by the above exception were sufficiently trivial not
171to be subject to copyright, resulting in confusion over whether it
172negated the permissions granted in the license. In the spirit of
173permissive licensing, and of not having licensing issues being an
174obstacle to adoption, that text has been removed.
