426
428 The regexp patterns follows the DefHash specification, and more
429 specifically the structure of Regexp::Pattern, defining access to one
430 pattern per DefHash object, as "pat".
431 Additionally, (sub)patterns are available in plaintext form, as
433 "pat.alt.*".
434 SUBJECT
436 Each pattern targets one or more subjects, i.e. ways to directly or
437 indirectly represent a license.
438 Beware that not all pattern objects fully cover all subjects.
440 trait
442 Distinguishing trait or feature expressed in licensing strings,
443 e.g. an advertising clause or granting "...or any later version."
444 Coverage for this subject is currently rather weak.
446 name
448 Distinguishing name, e.g. usable in license grant.
449 grant
451 Text granting the license.
452 license
454 Text containing licensing terms.
455 Texts containing both license grant and licensing terms (e.g. BSD-
457 and MIT-style licensing) may be classified as either subject grant
458 or subject license. This may change, as needs for distinction is
459 better understood.
460 SCOPE
462 Each pattern can process material within some scope, i.e. a certain
463 sample size of the full subject.
464 As an example, <https://codesearch.debian.net/> use line-based
466 processing, where patterns spanning multiple lines are not applicable.
467 line
469 Pattern typically found within a single line. Typically this means
470 less than 70 characters within scope.
471 sentence
473 Pattern matching within a sentence.
474 May span multiple lines, but not across multiple sentences.
476 Typically this means no full-stop or colon within scope.
477 paragraph
479 Pattern matching distinguishing paragraph.
480 May span multiple sentences, but not multiple paragraphs.
482 Typically this means no newline within scope.
483 section
485 Pattern matching distinguishing section.
486 May span multiple paragraphs, but not multiple sections. Typically
488 this means blank line within scope.
489 multisection
491 Pattern may span multiple sections.
492 TAGS
494 Pattern defhashes optionally includes tags, which may help in selecting
495 multiple related patterns.
496 Tags are hierarchical, with ":" as separator, and may be extended
498 without notice. Therefore take care to permit sub-parts when tag-
499 matching, e.g. using a regex like " /\Asome:tag(?:\z|:)/ ".
500 · family:bsd
502 · family:cc
504 · family:gpl
506 · family:mit
508 · family:zlib
510 Pattern covers a license part of a family of licenses.
512 · license:contains:grant
514 License mentions a preferred form for granting the license.
516 This implies that license is commonly granted by use of a different
518 (typically far shorter) text.
519 · license:contains:license:*
521 License contains another license.
523 Wildcard is the key to corresponding license pattern.
525 · license:contains:name:*
527 License mentions name of another license.
529 · license:is:grant
531 License is commonly granted by stating the whole license.
533 · type:usage:*:*
535 Pattern covers a specific usage of a license.
537 Third part is the key of the corresponding non-usage-specific
539 pattern.
540 Fourth part is the key of the corresponding usage trait pattern.
542 · type:combo
544 Pattern covers a combination of multiple licenses.
546 · type:group
548 Pattern covers either of multiple licenses.
550 · type:singleversion:*
552 Pattern covers a specific version of a license.
554 Last part of tag is the key of the corresponding non-version-
556 specific pattern.
557 · type:trait
559 Pattern covers a single trait occuring in licenses.
561 · type:unversioned
563 Pattern covers a license without versioning scheme.
565 · type:versioned:decimal
567 Pattern covers a license using decimal number versioning scheme.
569 DEPRECATED TAGS
571 Tags not documented in this POD, specifically non-hierarchical tags,
573 are deprecated and will be dropped in a future release.
