Hi Scott,
I think this is incorrect. If you look at
src/license_expression/_pyahocorasick.ABOUT, you will find the link to
the file they imported [1]. Those files are clearly marked as public
domain in their header.
The overall project license might be BSD-3-Clause, but the python files
are licensed differently. Please close this if you agree with my assessment.
Regards,
Stephan
