Hi, It's come to my attention that libregex on FreeBSD is GPL'd - not LGPL'd. I think it rather violates the POLA that anything that uses regex_t and is compiled on FreeBSD ends up being covered by the terms of the GPL. Has there been any thought given to moving to the modified Henry Spencer regex library used in NetBSD & OpenBSD's libc? Regards, Ben
