The only lines that look like they imply a license are: > ./META.yml-3-distribution_type: module > ./META.yml-4-generated_by: Module::Install version 0.64 > ./META.yml:5:license: perl > ./META.yml-6-name: Cache-Simple-TimedExpiry > ./META.yml-7-no_index: > ./lib/Cache/Simple/TimedExpiry.pm-172-Jesse Vincent <jesse@bestpractical.com> > ./lib/Cache/Simple/TimedExpiry.pm-173-Some of the heavy lifting was designed by Robert Spier <rspier@pobox.com> > ./lib/Cache/Simple/TimedExpiry.pm-174- > ./lib/Cache/Simple/TimedExpiry.pm:175:Copyright 2004 Jesse Vincent <jesse@bestpractical.com> > ./lib/Cache/Simple/TimedExpiry.pm-176- > ./lib/Cache/Simple/TimedExpiry.pm-177-=cut > ./Makefile.PL-5- abstract ('A lightweight cache with timed expiration'); > ./Makefile.PL-6- author ('Robert Spier <rspier@pobox.com>, Jesse Vincent <jesse@bestpractical.com>'); > ./Makefile.PL-7- version_from ('lib/Cache/Simple/TimedExpiry.pm'); > ./Makefile.PL:8: license ('perl'); > ./Makefile.PL-9- > ./Makefile.PL-10- requires ('perl' => 5.005); > ./Makefile.PL-11- > ./Makefile.PL-12-&WriteAll; Which means the perl5 license is implied, but not strongly enough for this to be a legal declaration.
