Description Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-04 09:10:48 UTC
As a lot of modules say:
| This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
| under the same terms as Perl itself.
we could add a default LICENSE to perl-module.eclass and only change it if the module has a different license.

From README in perl:
| a) the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
| Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) any
| later version, or
|
| b) the "Artistic License" which comes with this Kit.
