mbstring PHP interface is released under PHP license, but mbfilter and
mbregex are distributed under the LGPL. And yes, we have modified

I'll come up with a BSD licensed alternative of the regex library, and
regarding the mbstring facility, I'm planning to replace with the code
much integrated into PHP as I mentioned before. Then give me some time :)
