Henry Spencer's license
by Petr Šabata
Dear legal,
While checking the contents of our `perl' package, I noticed the following:
(...)
/* NOTE: this is derived from Henry Spencer's regexp code, and should not
* confused with the original package (see point 3 below). Thanks, Henry!
*/
/* Additional note: this code is very heavily munged from Henry's version
* in places. In some spots I've traded clarity for efficiency, so don't
* blame Henry for some of the lack of readability.
*/
/* The names of the functions have been changed from regcomp and
* regexec to pregcomp and pregexec in order to avoid conflicts
* with the POSIX routines of the same names.
*/
(...)
* pregcomp and pregexec -- regsub and regerror are not used in perl
*

You can see the whole file here:

I looked but couldn't find any common name for this license
of Henry's. Is it on our list? Is it free? What name should
I use in the License tag?
Thank you,
Petr

Hi. Fedora is an open source operating system based on Linux and other
open source components. It is available for download at no cost here:
https://getfedora.org/
You do not need to purchase a license for Fedora.
Red Hat (the company that distributes Fedora) does not offer support for
the product. You can always ask the Fedora community for help via any of
the methods documented here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help
Red Hat does offer a commercially supported version of Linux called Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. More information about that product can be found here:
https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux
Finally, if you wish to contact Red Hat Sales, here are a list of
regional contacts:

Thanks and good luck,
