| PCRE in software that you distribute to others, commercially or |
| otherwise, you must put a sentence like this |
| |
| Regular expression support is provided by the PCRE library package, |
| which is open source software, written by Philip Hazel, and copyright |

| ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/ |
| |
| should also be given in the documentation. However, this condition is not |
| intended to apply to whole chains of software. If package A includes PCRE, |
| it must acknowledge it, but if package B is software that includes package |
| A, the condition is not imposed on package B (unless it uses PCRE |
| independently). |

| misrepresented as being the original software. |

| 4. If PCRE is embedded in any software that is released under the GNU |
| General Purpose Licence (GPL), or Lesser General Purpose Licence (LGPL), |
| then the terms of that licence shall supersede any condition above with |
| which it is incompatible. |

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