Description Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-19 20:21:33 UTC 
The ebuild says Artistic or GPL, but I cannot find any reference to GPL licensing terms within the tarball.
Comment 1 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-20 21:36:22 UTC 
Not looking deep enough I think.

Pod-Parser:

If your version of Perl was not distributed under the
 terms of the Artistic License, than you may distribute PodParser
 under the same terms as Perl itself.
