I see, thanks. I'm going to put my repository on Savannah
(sv.nongnu.org), and I'll have the Savannah page point to the MetaCPAN
page as the homepage. Then I'll have the MetaCPAN page point to Savannah
as the git repository, but should I also have MetaCPAN point to Savannah
as the homepage? I'm thinking not, because it would be confusing to have
MetaCPAN and Savannah disagree on what the homepage is, right?

Yes, I do include the license file in the distribution, so I guess I
won't need to specify that field then.
Thanks for your help!
