Re: License of Class::Struct

Hi Elaine!


It's good to finally have news about this issue!

| *>Jarkko, I include below a news I tried to send on comp.lang.perl, but
| *>I think it never went out of my organization.

| comp.lang.perl split off into comp.lang.perl.misc, .modules, .moderated
| and .tk a while back. Check your newsfeed provider to see if they carry
| them.

Aaaaaarg!  Does it mean comp.lang.perl is really dead and should not
exist?  I can see it from here, but its sole content is the news I
sent a week ago :)


| *>In other words, does the GPL also applies to modules?
| 
| Yes. With rare exception, the Perl distribution is covered by both the
| Artistic License or the GPL, whichever is more appropriate for your needs
| and it doesn't sound like you would be in conflict with either of them.

Would it be possible that someone include a few words about this in
Class::Struct?  I would feel much more comfortable with that.

In fact, I'm a bit worried by your words: you said

        _With rare exception_, the Perl distribution is covered by
        both the Artistic License or the GPL

I would like to have read

        _Unless stated otherwise_, the Perl distribution is covered by
        both the Artistic License or the GPL

:)



Tom, is this enough for us to use it?
