Perl is licensed as |
7 |
|
8 |
| This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
9 |
| it under the terms of either: |
10 |
| |
11 |
| a) the GNU General Public License as published by the Free |
12 |
| Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) any |
13 |
| later version, or |
14 |
| |
15 |
| b) the "Artistic License" which comes with this Kit. |
16 |
|
17 |
The perl-module.eclass offers a default LICENSE as |
18 |
LICENSE="${LICENSE:-|| ( Artistic GPL-1 GPL-2 GPL-3 )}" |
19 |
|
20 |
So if a distribution uses "the same license as Perl 5 itself" you can |
21 |
just drop the LICENSE from the ebuild (as long no former eclass sets its |
22 |
own LICENSE). |
23 |
|
24 |
I've further added comments to the LICENSE in the ebuilds if it does not |
25 |
use "the same terms as the Perl 5 programming language system itself" |
26 |
but "or-later" group of licenses (like GPL-2+ or Artistic+...). |
