9 Version v3.4.0
10
12 Regexp::Pattern::License provides a hash of regular expression patterns
13 related to legal software licenses.
14 Regexp::Pattern is a convention for organizing reusable regex patterns.

18 Licensing traits
19 Patterns each covering a single trait occuring in licenses.

746
748 The regexp patterns follows the DefHash specification, and more
749 specifically the structure of Regexp::Pattern, defining access to one
750 pattern per DefHash object, as "pat".
751 Additionally, (sub)patterns are available in plaintext form, as
753 "pat.alt.*".
754 SUBJECT
756 Each pattern targets one or more subjects, i.e. ways to directly or
757 indirectly represent a license.
758 Beware that not all pattern objects fully cover all subjects.
760 trait
762 Distinguishing trait or feature expressed in licensing strings,
763 e.g. an advertising clause or granting "...or any later version."
764 Coverage for this subject is currently rather weak.
766 name
768 Distinguishing name, e.g. usable in license grant.
769 grant
771 Text granting the license.
772 license
774 Text containing licensing terms.
775 Texts containing both license grant and licensing terms (e.g. BSD-
777 and MIT-style licensing) may be classified as either subject grant
778 or subject license. This may change, as needs for distinction is
779 better understood.
780 SCOPE
782 Each pattern can process material within some scope, i.e. a certain
783 sample size of the full subject.
784 As an example, <https://codesearch.debian.net/> use line-based
786 processing, where patterns spanning multiple lines are not applicable.
787 line
789 Pattern typically found within a single line. Typically this means
790 less than 70 characters within scope.
791 sentence
793 Pattern matching within a sentence.
794 May span multiple lines, but not across multiple sentences.
796 Typically this means no full-stop or colon within scope.
797 paragraph
799 Pattern matching distinguishing paragraph.
800 May span multiple sentences, but not multiple paragraphs.
802 Typically this means no newline within scope.
803 section
805 Pattern matching distinguishing section.
806 May span multiple paragraphs, but not multiple sections. Typically
808 this means blank line within scope.
809 multisection
811 Pattern may span multiple sections.
812 TAGS
814 Pattern defhashes optionally includes tags, which may help in selecting
815 multiple related patterns.
816 Tags are hierarchical, with ":" as separator, and may be extended
818 without notice. Therefore take care to permit sub-parts when tag-
819 matching, e.g. using a regex like " /\Asome:tag(?:\z|:)/ ".
820 • family:bsd
822 • family:cc
824 • family:gpl
826 • family:mit
828 • family:zlib
830 Pattern covers a license part of a family of licenses.
832 • license:contains:grant:*
834 License mentions a preferred form for granting the license.
836 This implies that license is commonly granted by use of a different
838 (typically far shorter) text.
839 Fourth part (optional) is the key to corresponding license pattern,
841 for a grant belonging to a different license (when omitted then a
842 grant for same license is assumed).
843 • license:contains:license:*
845 License contains another license.
847 Wildcard is the key to corresponding license pattern.
849 • license:contains:name:*
851 License mentions name of another license.
853 • license:includes:license:*
855 License references coverage of another license.
857 Wildcard is the key to corresponding license pattern.
859 • license:is:grant
861 License is commonly granted by stating the whole license.
863 • license:published:*
865 License grant may include an "as published by..." reference.
867 Third part is the key to corresponding trait pattern.
869 • type:trait:publisher:*
871 Pattern covers an "as published by ..." license grant phrase.
873 Third part (optional) is the key to corresponding license pattern.
875 • type:usage:*:*
877 Pattern covers a specific usage of a license.
879 Third part is the key of the corresponding non-usage-specific
881 pattern.
882 Fourth part is the key of the corresponding usage trait pattern.
884 • type:combo
886 Pattern covers a combination of multiple licenses.
888 • type:group
890 Pattern covers either of multiple licenses.
892 • type:singleversion:*
894 Pattern covers a specific version of a license.
896 Third part is the key of the corresponding non-version-specific
898 pattern.
899 • type:trait
901 Pattern covers a single trait occuring in licenses.
903 • type:unversioned
905 Pattern covers a license without versioning scheme.
907 • type:versioned:decimal
909 Pattern covers a license using decimal number versioning scheme.
