    Dear Debian Perl Team,

    I am writing to inquire about the regular expressions used within the Copyright Review Tools, specifically the License Checker.

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/licensecheck

    I am working on finding a way to incorporate them into a different
    language than to Perl and wanted to ask if there is a database or documentation of the regular expressions that is available. If that is
    the case could you please direct me or forward me to the location.

    Look forward to hearing back.

    Hi Kathrin.

    I am both part of the Debian Perl team and also the current developer of Licensecheck. Several people have controbuted to the codebase and I was
    not involved initially in that project, but for the current code I am
    leading the development and notably have structured its database of
    regular expressions, which are maintained here: https://metacpan.org/dist/Regexp-Pattern-License

    I am curious to learn more about your interest in reusing Licensecheck
    regex patterns, and might be interested in collaborated with you on
    that. Please do share more about your plans...

    Kind regards,

    - Jonas
