Description Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-05-09 01:44:52 UTC
Upstream says:

>./lib/Cache/Memcached.pm:1258:You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public
>./lib/Cache/Memcached.pm:1259:License or the Artistic License, as specified in the Perl README file.

However the "terms of X ....  as specified in Y" has a conflict as X differs from how its specified in Y.

( Restricts to GPL-1 only where Y permits GPL-1+ )
