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
