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+...). |
