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.
