License Question; awk

["William A. Rowe, Jr." <wr...@rowe-clan.net>]

Summary;

We've discussed the pros and cons of using Perl to install Apache.
We use Perl today to convert some Apache code.  Discussion on apr-dev
has brought up the issue of sed/awk/perl as makefile/exports makers,
and we need to look at the big picture as well for the installer.

I need a script language to rewrite the end-user's installed files.
I'm against forcing Win32 users to additionally install any scripting
they don't already have, so I don't want InstallSheild's scripting
environment, etc.  We can do this with our own custom .dll, and I'm
even avoiding that (to some extent.)  I want to solve the problems
with a single solution.

sed is GPL'ed.  perl is licensed nicely, with a big problem about the
overall size if the user doesn't want it.  awk may be a good solution,
since (a) it's very small, and (b) it may solve our issues.  The Bell
Labs license looks like:

Can we live with this license?  If so, I think we have our build,
makefile install and end user .conf rewrites all resolved.
