Confusing License #36

Open g4jc opened 4 years ago

g4jc commented 4 years ago

The distro I am using currently is packaging Perl 5, which permits GPL-1, however the ReadMe explicitly states Artistic License, indicating the old version of Perl which was not even GPL-compaitlbe.

Would it be possible to revise this to allow Perl 5?

  This module is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
  under the terms of version of Perl you are using.

Debian already seems to have assumed this and lists it as GPL-1, but this part of the license is rather ambiguous.

Thank you.
