Keep in mind that pcre has an advertising clause in its license (software that distributes pcre commercially or non-commercially needs to add a note to the effect in its documentation / online help). Since PostgreSQL's license doesn't have this restriction, it would be shame to impose that requirement on PostgreSQL users. (Note that as I'm not a lawyer, my interpretation of the license may not be correct.) > Strict Perl compatibility would be a nice feature, but right at the > moment the multibyte issue is looking like the determining factor. Agreed -- ISTM that Spencer's new engine is probably the best choice.
