Changes include: * Change include of system regex headers to internal * Add cli prefix to regex functions * Change cli_regcomp to cli_regcomp_real to work with the others_common.c regex interface * Optimize re_guts struct: - Reordering fields allows the struct to fit within 16 bytes vs 20 bytes. This helps to fix a bug on legacy 64-bit systems where there was a behaviour difference between 32 and 64 systems. - see bb 474 for further details * Fix out of memory condition - see bb 849 for further details - reported by Gianluigi Tiesi <sherpya*netfarm.it> * Remove duplicate nomem check * Avoid passing out-of-range values to isalnum - reported by Nigel * Avoid name collisions on AIX * Fix compiler warnings * Fix error path leak in regex/engine.c * Fix regex when sizeof(void*) != sizeof(long) for 64bit Windows - see bb 2232 for further Details - reported by Martin Olsen * Add error case safety checks and cleanups * Add patch for 'possible' heap overflow - see bb11264 for further details - patch submitted by the Debian team * Use clam internal allocation functions * Replace bounds check asserts with if checks (asserts are compiled out of production builds) Contributors to the above include: * Nigel Horne * aCaB * Török Edvin * David Raynor * Shawn Webb * Steven Morgan * Micah Snyder * Mickey Sola

3rd Party Code
ClamAV contains a number of components that include code copied in part or in whole from 3rd party projects and whose code is not owned by Cisco and which are licensed differently than ClamAV. These include:
- tomsfastmath: public domain
- Yara: Apache 2.0 license
- Yara has since switched to the BSD 3-Clause License; Our source is out-of-date and needs to be updated.
- 7z / lzma: public domain
- libclamav's NSIS/NulSoft parser includes:
- zlib: permissive free software license
- bzip2 / libbzip2: BSD-like license
- OpenBSD's libc/regex: BSD license

- Curl: license inspired by MIT/X, but not identical
- libmspack: LGPL license
- UnRAR (libclamunrar): a non-free/restricted open source license
- Note: The UnRAR license is incompatible with GPLv2 because it contains a clause that prohibits reverse engineering a RAR compression algorithm from the UnRAR decompression code. For this reason, libclamunrar/libclamunrar_iface is not linked at all with libclamav. It is instead loaded at run-time. If it fails to load, ClamAV will continue running without RAR support.
