At first glance, I agreed with you, but...

DOC/sgmlspl.sgml has:
```
[...]
<para>Welcome to &sgmlspl;, a simple sample &perl5; application which
uses the &sgmls.pm; class library.</para>

<important id=terms>

(which would make it GPL-2 GPL-2+ for now, in lieu of clarification from upstream)

Comment 3 steffen_brauer 2023-08-21 08:45:21 UTC

I agree.
