Description Ben Sagal 2013-01-08 19:06:36 UTC 
the readme for dev-perl/TermReadKey contains the following text:

 Copyright (C) 1994-1999 Kenneth Albanowski. 
               2001-2005 Jonathan Stowe and others
 
 Unlimited distribution and/or modification is allowed as long as this 
 copyright notice remains intact.

This does not seem to contain any as-is clause, so is as-is the right license.

This was already discussed between two members of the licenses team. The conclusion was that we aren't happy about license proliferation, but the best we can do here is to add the above as "TermReadKey" license.

Fixed.
