I regret having posted any information about greta to this list -- it's
pretty off-topic.  My apologies.  But to answer your question, no the
license does not allow this.  (Don't blame me, I wrote the code not the
license.)  You should stick with boost regex.  If you are concerned about
performance, I know that John Maddock is hard at work improving the
performance of regex++.

If you have any more questions, please send them to me directly.

Happy grepping,
