--- name: "Regexp::Pattern::License" section: "3pm" platform: "linux" package: "libregexp-pattern-license-perl" version: "3.11.2-1" release: "Debian 13 (Trixie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/Regexp::Pattern::License" --- # Regexp::Pattern::License(3pm) Regular expressions for legal licenses ## NAME Regexp::Pattern::License - Regular expressions for legal licenses ## VERSION Version v3.11.2 ## SYNOPSIS ``` use Regexp::Pattern::License; use Regexp::Pattern; my $string = 'GNU General Public License version 3 or later'; print "Found!\n" if $string =~ re( 'License::gpl_3' ); # prints "Found!" ``` ## DESCRIPTION Regexp::Pattern::License provides a hash of regular expression patterns related to legal software licenses. Regexp::Pattern is a convention for organizing reusable regex patterns. ## PATTERNS ### Licensing traits Patterns each covering a single trait occuring in licenses. Each of these patterns has the tag **type:trait** . - • addr\_fsf *Since v3.4.0.* - • addr\_fsf\_franklin *Since v3.4.0.* - • addr\_fsf\_franklin\_steet *Since v3.4.0.* - • addr\_fsf\_mass *Since v3.4.0.* - • addr\_fsf\_temple *Since v3.4.0.* - • any\_of *Since v3.1.92.* - • by *Since v3.3.0.* - • by\_apache *Since v3.3.0.* - • by\_fsf *Since v3.3.0.* - • by\_james\_clark *Since v3.3.0.* - • by\_psf *Since v3.3.0.* - • by\_sam\_hocevar *Since v3.3.0.* - • clause\_retention - • clause\_reproduction - • clause\_advertising - • clause\_advertising\_always - • clause\_non\_endorsement - • except\_389 - • except\_autoconf\_data *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_autoconf\_2 *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_autoconf\_2\_archive *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_autoconf\_2\_autotroll *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_autoconf\_2\_g10 *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_autoconf\_3 *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_bison\_1\_24 *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_bison\_2\_2 *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_classpath\_2 - • except\_ecos\_2 *Since v3.6.0.* - • except\_epl - • except\_epl\_mpl - • except\_faust *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_font\_2 *Since v3.7.0.* - • except\_gcc\_2 *Since v3.7.0.* - • except\_gcc\_3\_1 *Since v3.7.0.* - • except\_gstreamer - • except\_libtool - • except\_mif - • except\_openssl *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_ocaml-lgpl - • except\_openssl-lgpl *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_openssl\_s3 *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_prefix\_agpl *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_prefix\_generic *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_prefix\_gpl *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_prefix\_gpl\_clisp *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_prefix\_lgpl *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_proguard *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_qt\_gpl\_1 *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_qt\_gpl\_eclipse *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_qt\_gpl\_openssl *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_qt\_kernel *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_qt\_lgpl\_1\_1 *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_qt\_nosource *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_sdc *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_sollya\_4\_1 *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_warzone *Since v3.4.0.* - • except\_wxwindows *Since v3.6.0.* - • except\_xerces *Since v3.4.0.* - • fsf\_unlimited - • fsf\_unlimited\_retention - • generated *Since v3.4.0.* - • license\_label - • license\_label\_spdx *Since v3.9.0.* - • license\_label\_trove *Since v3.1.100.* - • licensed\_under *Since v3.1.92.* - • usage\_rfn *Since v3.2.0.* - • version Optionally provides the following numbered and named captures: ``` "Under GPL, v2 or later of the license."

Each of these patterns has the tag **type:combo** . - • net\_snmp *Since v3.6.0.* - • perl - • python\_2 *Since v3.9.0.* ### License groups Patterns each covering either of multiple licenses. Each of these patterns has the tag **type:group** . - • bsd - • cc *Since v3.6.0.* - • gnu - • mit ## STRUCTURE The regexp patterns follows the DefHash specification, and more specifically the structure of Regexp::Pattern, defining access to one pattern per DefHash object, as `"pat"`. Additionally, (sub)patterns are available in plaintext form, as `"pat.alt.*"`. ### SUBJECT Each pattern targets one or more subjects, i.e. ways to directly or indirectly represent a license. Beware that not all pattern objects fully cover all subjects. - trait Distinguishing trait or feature expressed in licensing strings, e.g. an advertising clause or granting "...or any later version." Coverage for this subject is currently rather weak. - name Distinguishing name, e.g. usable in license grant. - grant Text granting the license. - license Text containing licensing terms. Texts containing both license grant and licensing terms (e.g. BSD- and MIT-style licensing) may be classified as either subject grant or subject license. This may change, as needs for distinction is better understood. ### SCOPE Each pattern can process material within some scope, i.e. a certain sample size of the full subject. As an example, \ use line-based processing, where patterns spanning multiple lines are not applicable. - line Pattern typically found within a single line. Typically this means less than 70 characters within scope. - sentence Pattern matching within a sentence. May span multiple lines, but not across multiple sentences. Typically this means no full-stop or colon within scope. - paragraph Pattern matching distinguishing paragraph. May span multiple sentences, but not multiple paragraphs. Typically this means no newline within scope. - section Pattern matching distinguishing section. May span multiple paragraphs, but not multiple sections. Typically this means blank line within scope. - multisection Pattern may span multiple sections. ### OBSOLETE OBJECTS License objects obsoleted by improved coverage of other objects, and provided only as dummy objects. - • or\_at\_option *Since v3.11.0.* - • version\_later\_paragraph *Since v3.11.0.* - • version\_later\_postfix *Since v3.11.0.* - • version\_number *Since v3.11.0.* - • version\_number\_suffix *Since v3.11.0.* - • python *Since v3.9.0.* Replaced by "psf\_2" and "python\_2". - • wordnet\_3 *Since v3.9.0.* Replaced by "wordnet". ### TAGS Pattern defhashes optionally includes tags, which may help in selecting multiple related patterns. Tags are hierarchical, with `":"` as separator, and may be extended without notice. Therefore take care to permit sub-parts when tag-matching, e.g. using a regex like `" /\Asome:tag(?:\z|:)/ "`. - • family:bsd - • family:cc - • family:gpl - • family:mit - • family:zlib Pattern covers a license part of a family of licenses. - • license:contains:grant:\* License mentions a preferred form for granting the license. This implies that license is commonly granted by use of a different (typically far shorter) text. Fourth part (optional) is the key to corresponding license pattern, for a grant belonging to a different license (when omitted then a grant for same license is assumed). - • license:contains:license:\* License contains another license. Wildcard is the key to corresponding license pattern. - • license:contains:name:\* License mentions name of another license. - • license:includes:license:\* License references coverage of another license. Wildcard is the key to corresponding license pattern. - • license:is:grant License is commonly granted by stating the whole license. - • license:published:\* License grant may include an "as published by..." reference. Third part is the key to corresponding trait pattern. - • type:trait:publisher:\* Pattern covers an "as published by ..." license grant phrase. Third part (optional) is the key to corresponding license pattern. - • type:usage:\*:\* Pattern covers a specific usage of a license. Third part is the key of the corresponding non-usage-specific pattern. Fourth part is the key of the corresponding usage trait pattern. - • type:combo Pattern covers a combination of multiple licenses. - • type:group Pattern covers either of multiple licenses. - • type:singleversion:\* Pattern covers a specific version of a license. Third part is the key of the corresponding non-version-specific pattern. - • type:trait Pattern covers a single trait occuring in licenses. - • type:unversioned Pattern covers a license without versioning scheme. - • type:versioned:decimal Pattern covers a license using decimal number versioning scheme. ## EXAMPLES ### Browse patterns The "official" way to browse patterns is using App::RegexpPatternUtils: ``` show-regexp-pattern-module --page-result -- License ``` Unfortunately, App::RegexpPatternUtils has a deep dependency tree. An alternative is to use Data::Printer and `"less"`: ``` perl -CS -MRegexp::Pattern::License -MDDP -e 'p %Regexp::Pattern::License::RE, fulldump => 1, output => stdout' | less -RS ``` ## AUTHOR Jonas Smedegaard `""` ## COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE ``` Copyright © 2016-2021 Jonas Smedegaard Copyright © 2017-2021 Purism SPC ``` This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3, or (at your option) any later version.
