| 7 | src/regex/tre*) is Copyright © 2001-2006 Ville Laurikari and licensed |
| 8 | under the terms of the GNU LGPL version 2.1 or later. The included |
| 9 | version was heavily modified in Spring 2006 by Rich Felker in the |
| 10 | interests of size, simplicity, and namespace cleanliness. |

| 22 | All files which have no copyright comments are original works |
| 23 | Copyright © 2005-2011 Rich Felker, the main author of this library. |
| 24 | The decision to exclude such comments is intentional, as it should be |
| 25 | possible to carry around the complete source code on tiny storage |
| 26 | media. All public header files (include/*) should be treated as Public |
| 27 | Domain as they intentionally contain no content which can be covered |
| 28 | by copyright. Some source modules may fall in this category as well. |
| 29 | If you believe that a file is so trivial that it should be in the |
| 30 | Public Domain, please contact me and, if I agree, I will explicitly |
| 31 | release it from copyright. |
