Just for information: I was forced to write my own regular expression
library because of the restrictions of the GNU licence, and because I
could not find any other library with the features I needed for a
commercial project.

The library contains all the features of the GNU library and a few
extensions.  As a test, I compiled GNU emacs using my own library, and
used it for several weeks for normal work, like writing code, reading
mail, news, etc.

I have posted my library on comp.sources.misc, so if anyone needs a
gnu-compatible library which is free (as opposed to gnu-free), feel
welcome to use it.  For more information, see the posting v27i023 in
comp.sources.misc.
