STRUCTURE

       The regexp patterns follows the DefHash specification, and more specifically the structure
       of Regexp::Pattern, defining access to one pattern per DefHash object, as "pat".

       Additionally, (sub)patterns are available in plaintext form, as "pat.alt.*".

   SUBJECT
       Each pattern targets one or more subjects, i.e. ways to directly or indirectly represent a
       license.

       Beware that not all pattern objects fully cover all subjects.

       trait
           Distinguishing trait or feature expressed in licensing strings, e.g. an advertising
           clause or granting "...or any later version."

           Coverage for this subject is currently rather weak.

       name
           Distinguishing name, e.g. usable in license grant.

       grant
           Text granting the license.

       license
           Text containing licensing terms.

           Texts containing both license grant and licensing terms (e.g. BSD- and MIT-style
           licensing) may be classified as either subject grant or subject license.  This may
           change, as needs for distinction is better understood.

   SCOPE
       Each pattern can process material within some scope, i.e. a certain sample size of the
       full subject.

       As an example, <https://codesearch.debian.net/> use line-based processing, where patterns
       spanning multiple lines are not applicable.

       line
           Pattern typically found within a single line.  Typically this means less than 70
           characters within scope.

       sentence
           Pattern matching within a sentence.

           May span multiple lines, but not across multiple sentences.  Typically this means no
           full-stop or colon within scope.

       paragraph
           Pattern matching distinguishing paragraph.

           May span multiple sentences, but not multiple paragraphs.  Typically this means no
           newline within scope.

       section
           Pattern matching distinguishing section.

           May span multiple paragraphs, but not multiple sections.  Typically this means blank
           line within scope.

       multisection
           Pattern may span multiple sections.

   OBSOLETE OBJECTS
       License objects obsoleted by improved coverage of other objects, and provided only as
       dummy objects.

       •   python

           Since v3.9.0.

           Replaced by "psf_2" and "python_2".

       •   wordnet_3

           Since v3.9.0.

           Replaced by "wordnet".

   TAGS
       Pattern defhashes optionally includes tags, which may help in selecting multiple related
       patterns.

       Tags are hierarchical, with ":" as separator, and may be extended without notice.
       Therefore take care to permit sub-parts when tag-matching, e.g. using a regex like "
       /\Asome:tag(?:\z|:)/ ".

       •   family:bsd

       •   family:cc

       •   family:gpl

       •   family:mit

       •   family:zlib

           Pattern covers a license part of a family of licenses.

       •   license:contains:grant:*

           License mentions a preferred form for granting the license.

           This implies that license is commonly granted by use of a different (typically far
           shorter) text.

           Fourth part (optional) is the key to corresponding license pattern, for a grant
           belonging to a different license (when omitted then a grant for same license is
           assumed).

       •   license:contains:license:*

           License contains another license.

           Wildcard is the key to corresponding license pattern.

       •   license:contains:name:*

           License mentions name of another license.

       •   license:includes:license:*

           License references coverage of another license.

           Wildcard is the key to corresponding license pattern.

       •   license:is:grant

           License is commonly granted by stating the whole license.

       •   license:published:*

           License grant may include an "as published by..." reference.

           Third part is the key to corresponding trait pattern.

       •   type:trait:publisher:*

           Pattern covers an "as published by ..." license grant phrase.

           Third part (optional) is the key to corresponding license pattern.

       •   type:usage:*:*

           Pattern covers a specific usage of a license.

           Third part is the key of the corresponding non-usage-specific pattern.

           Fourth part is the key of the corresponding usage trait pattern.

       •   type:combo

           Pattern covers a combination of multiple licenses.

       •   type:group

           Pattern covers either of multiple licenses.

       •   type:singleversion:*

           Pattern covers a specific version of a license.

           Third part is the key of the corresponding non-version-specific pattern.

       •   type:trait

           Pattern covers a single trait occuring in licenses.

       •   type:unversioned

           Pattern covers a license without versioning scheme.

       •   type:versioned:decimal

           Pattern covers a license using decimal number versioning scheme.

EXAMPLES

   Browse patterns
       The "official" way to browse patterns is using App::RegexpPatternUtils:

           show-regexp-pattern-module --page-result -- License

       Unfortunately, App::RegexpPatternUtils has a deep dependency tree.  An alternative is to
       use Data::Printer and "less":

           perl -CS -MRegexp::Pattern::License -MDDP -e 'p %Regexp::Pattern::License::RE, fulldump => 1, output => stdout' | less -RS
