Description Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

This one is too messy to adequately summarise.

- Lots of conflation of "perl" with licenses with a different "GPL" disposition (ie: GPL1, GPL2, GPL2+ ) than the perl license dictates.

- Lots of files with BSD-like licenses
- Lots of test files cribbed from older perls, libc, gcc, all with fun licensing stuff to analyse ( LGPL and friends )

See the ticket for details, or just peruse https://gist.github.com/kentfredric/6b699ed648b934ee39e150b978993691
