They have to get thrid-party code legally approved, etc, and since they can already use Perl they don't need any special permission to use those modules. One client specifically wasn't allowed from CPAN (although we solved that with a minicpan on a disk). I don't make up these rules, but they are out there. For the CPANDB, as long as I can read the data it in my own program, I don't much care what CPAN::Index uses.
