If you mean a version of regex included in the LGPL'ed libc, yes, then this point might be mute. However, if you mean the regex/rx distributions, please, no. GNU regex and GNU rx distributions are both under the GPL. Henry Spencer's regex has a promiscious license. Even if a LGPL'ed distribution was available, I wouldn't recommend switching without a significant and demonstrated technical advantage. I've found that each implementation is even with the others. I would suggest GNU regex be made ports unless some base application required the -lgnuregex.
