+EXEMPTION FOR BINARY LIBRARY-LIKE PACKAGES
+------------------------------------------
+
+The second condition in the BSD licence (covering binary redistributions) does
+not apply all the way down a chain of software. If binary package A includes
+PCRE2, it must respect the condition, but if package B is software that
+includes package A, the condition is not imposed on package B unless it uses
+PCRE2 independently.
