[$] How free software hijacked Philip Hazel's life

Philip Hazel was 51 when he began the Exim message transfer agent (MTA)project in 1995, whichled to the Perl-Compatible RegularExpressions (PCRE) project in 1998. At 80,he's maintained PCRE, and its successor PCRE2, for more than 27years. For those doing the math, that's a year longer than LWN hasbeen in publication. Exim maintenance was handed off around the timeof his retirement in 2007. Now, he is ready to hand off PCRE2 as well,if a successor can be found.
