Hi Ken,
the CPAN-Meta distribution recently included historic versions
of the META.yml specification documents [1], with a preface saying
This is a historical copy of the version 1.0 specification for
F<META.yml> files, copyright by Ken Williams.
However, no mention of the license of these documents is mentioned, and
I couldn't find such information on the web either. Could you please
give an explicit license statement about them?
For maximum compatibility, I hope the license is something like the usual
'same terms as perl itself', but if it isn't, there's even more reason
to let the world know :)
I think a reply to this email (cc'd to 783...@bugs.debian.org,
where we're tracking this on the Debian side) should be fine.
I'm happy to relay the license information to the CPAN-Meta authors so
they can include the licensing information in future versions.
[1] example:
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DAGOLDEN/CPAN-Meta-2.150002-TRIAL/lib/CPAN/Meta/History/Meta_1_0.pod
Many thanks for your work on free software, and apologies for having to
bother you with such trivialities.
