114The TRE regular expression implementation (src/regex/reg* and
115src/regex/tre*) is Copyright �� 2001-2008 Ville Laurikari and licensed
116under a 2-clause BSD license (license text in the source files). The
117included version has been heavily modified by Rich Felker in 2012, in
118the interests of size, simplicity, and namespace cleanliness.
119
120Much of the math library code (src/math/* and src/complex/*) is
121Copyright �� 1993,2004 Sun Microsystems or
122Copyright �� 2003-2011 David Schultz or
123Copyright �� 2003-2009 Steven G. Kargl or

125Copyright �� 2008 Stephen L. Moshier or
126Copyright �� 2017-2018 Arm Limited
127and labelled as such in comments in the individual source files. All
128have been licensed under extremely permissive terms.
129
130The ARM memcpy code (src/string/arm/memcpy_el.S) is Copyright �� 2008
131The Android Open Source Project and is licensed under a two-clause BSD
132license. It was taken from Bionic libc, used on Android.
133
134The implementation of DES for crypt (src/crypt/crypt_des.c) is
135Copyright �� 1994 David Burren. It is licensed under a BSD license.
136
137The implementation of blowfish crypt (src/crypt/crypt_blowfish.c) was
138originally written by Solar Designer and placed into the public
139domain. The code also comes with a fallback permissive license for use
140in jurisdictions that may not recognize the public domain.
141
142The smoothsort implementation (src/stdlib/qsort.c) is Copyright �� 2011
143Valentin Ochs and is licensed under an MIT-style license.
144
145The x86_64 port was written by Nicholas J. Kain and is licensed under
146the standard MIT terms.
147
148The mips and microblaze ports were originally written by Richard
149Pennington for use in the ellcc project. The original code was adapted
150by Rich Felker for build system and code conventions during upstream
151integration. It is licensed under the standard MIT terms.
152
153The mips64 port was contributed by Imagination Technologies and is
154licensed under the standard MIT terms.
155
156The powerpc port was also originally written by Richard Pennington,
157and later supplemented and integrated by John Spencer. It is licensed
158under the standard MIT terms.
159
160All other files which have no copyright comments are original works
161produced specifically for use as part of this library, written either
162by Rich Felker, the main author of the library, or by one or more
163contibutors listed above. Details on authorship of individual files
164can be found in the git version control history of the project. The
165omission of copyright and license comments in each file is in the
166interest of source tree size.
167
168In addition, permission is hereby granted for all public header files
169(include/* and arch/*/bits/*) and crt files intended to be linked into
170applications (crt/*, ldso/dlstart.c, and arch/*/crt_arch.h) to omit
171the copyright notice and permission notice otherwise required by the
172license, and to use these files without any requirement of
173attribution. These files include substantial contributions from:
174
175Bobby Bingham
176John Spencer
177Nicholas J. Kain
178Rich Felker
179Richard Pennington
180Stefan Kristiansson
181Szabolcs Nagy
182
183all of whom have explicitly granted such permission.
184
185This file previously contained text expressing a belief that most of
186the files covered by the above exception were sufficiently trivial not
187to be subject to copyright, resulting in confusion over whether it
188negated the permissions granted in the license. In the spirit of
189permissive licensing, and of not having licensing issues being an
190obstacle to adoption, that text has been removed.
