1886 The regexp patterns follows the DefHash specification, and more
1887 specifically the structure of Regexp::Pattern, defining access to one
1888 pattern per DefHash object, as "pat".
1889 Additionally, (sub)patterns are available in plaintext form, as
1891 "pat.alt.*".
1892 SUBJECT
1894 Each pattern targets one or more subjects, i.e. ways to directly or
1895 indirectly represent a license.
1896 Beware that not all pattern objects fully cover all subjects.
1898 trait
1900 Distinguishing trait or feature expressed in licensing strings,
1901 e.g. an advertising clause or granting "...or any later version."
1902 Coverage for this subject is currently rather weak.
1904 name
1906 Distinguishing name, e.g. usable in license grant.
1907 grant
1909 Text granting the license.
1910 license
1912 Text containing licensing terms.
1913 Texts containing both license grant and licensing terms (e.g. BSD-
1915 and MIT-style licensing) may be classified as either subject grant
1916 or subject license. This may change, as needs for distinction is
1917 better understood.
1918 SCOPE
1920 Each pattern can process material within some scope, i.e. a certain
1921 sample size of the full subject.
1922 As an example, <https://codesearch.debian.net/> use line-based
1924 processing, where patterns spanning multiple lines are not applicable.
1925 line
1927 Pattern typically found within a single line. Typically this means
1928 less than 70 characters within scope.
1929 sentence
1931 Pattern matching within a sentence.
1932 May span multiple lines, but not across multiple sentences.
1934 Typically this means no full-stop or colon within scope.
1935 paragraph
1937 Pattern matching distinguishing paragraph.
1938 May span multiple sentences, but not multiple paragraphs.
1940 Typically this means no newline within scope.
1941 section
1943 Pattern matching distinguishing section.
1944 May span multiple paragraphs, but not multiple sections. Typically
1946 this means blank line within scope.
1947 multisection
1949 Pattern may span multiple sections.
1950 OBSOLETE OBJECTS
1952 License objects obsoleted by improved coverage of other objects, and
1953 provided only as dummy objects.

1986 TAGS
1988 Pattern defhashes optionally includes tags, which may help in selecting
1989 multiple related patterns.
1990 Tags are hierarchical, with ":" as separator, and may be extended
1992 without notice. Therefore take care to permit sub-parts when tag-
1993 matching, e.g. using a regex like " /\Asome:tag(?:\z|:)/ ".
1994 • family:bsd
1996 • family:cc
1998 • family:gpl
2000 • family:mit
2002 • family:zlib
2004 Pattern covers a license part of a family of licenses.
2006 • license:contains:grant:*
2008 License mentions a preferred form for granting the license.
2010 This implies that license is commonly granted by use of a different
2012 (typically far shorter) text.
2013 Fourth part (optional) is the key to corresponding license pattern,
2015 for a grant belonging to a different license (when omitted then a
2016 grant for same license is assumed).
2017 • license:contains:license:*
2019 License contains another license.
2021 Wildcard is the key to corresponding license pattern.
2023 • license:contains:name:*
2025 License mentions name of another license.
2027 • license:includes:license:*
2029 License references coverage of another license.
2031 Wildcard is the key to corresponding license pattern.
2033 • license:is:grant
2035 License is commonly granted by stating the whole license.
2037 • license:published:*
2039 License grant may include an "as published by..." reference.
2041 Third part is the key to corresponding trait pattern.
2043 • type:trait:publisher:*
2045 Pattern covers an "as published by ..." license grant phrase.
2047 Third part (optional) is the key to corresponding license pattern.
2049 • type:usage:*:*
2051 Pattern covers a specific usage of a license.
2053 Third part is the key of the corresponding non-usage-specific
2055 pattern.
2056 Fourth part is the key of the corresponding usage trait pattern.
2058 • type:combo
2060 Pattern covers a combination of multiple licenses.
2062 • type:group
2064 Pattern covers either of multiple licenses.
2066 • type:singleversion:*
2068 Pattern covers a specific version of a license.
2070 Third part is the key of the corresponding non-version-specific
2072 pattern.
2073 • type:trait
2075 Pattern covers a single trait occuring in licenses.
2077 • type:unversioned
2079 Pattern covers a license without versioning scheme.
2081 • type:versioned:decimal
2083 Pattern covers a license using decimal number versioning scheme.
2085
2087 Browse patterns
2088 The "official" way to browse patterns is using App::RegexpPatternUtils:
2089 show-regexp-pattern-module --page-result -- License
2091 Unfortunately, App::RegexpPatternUtils has a deep dependency tree. An
2093 alternative is to use Data::Printer and "less":
2094 perl -CS -MRegexp::Pattern::License -MDDP -e 'p %Regexp::Pattern::License::RE, fulldump => 1, output => stdout' | less -RS
