I don't know about the POSIX libraries, but Henry Spencer's
re-implementation of Bell V8 regexp is freely available; all he requires is
that you document him as the author of the routines, and that any changes
you make are your responsibility as far as bugs introduced. I have ported
these to Microsoft Windows, UNIX, and VMS with extremely minor changes.
Perl uses a modified version of these functions.
