/***************************** COPYRIGHT NOTICES ***********************

Most of this code is directly from the Text::DoubleMetaphone perl module
version 0.05 available from http://www.cpan.org.
It bears this copyright notice:

  This code is based heavily on the C++ implementation by
  Lawrence Philips and incorporates several bug fixes courtesy
  of Kevin Atkinson <kev...@users.sourceforge.net>.

  This module is free software; you may redistribute it and/or
  modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.

Is that OK? Perl is dual-licensed under the GPL and the "Artistic License", so the question is whether the Artistic License is compatible with the PostgreSQL license. IANAL, but I couldn't immediately figure out what the Artistic License requires, when you pick a piece of code and modify and embed it in another project.
