Hello pcre-dev,

read the front page of http://www.pcre.org/ and I noticed this in the
first paragraph:

    "The PCRE library is free, even for building commercial software."


I'd like to point out that this is a misnomer. It implies that other
kind of free software is for non-commercial use only. Both BSD-derived
and copyleft (GPL-like) are available for commercial purposes. As such,
I suggest that the line be changed to read:

    "The PCRE library is free, even for building proprietary software."


Kind regards,
David Grundberg
