For instance, all of my modules clearly state in the documentation that they are available under the same terms as Perl itself. They come with a license, even if its not explicity stated in META.yml. Furthermore, everything has a license, even if it is implied. Since everything on CPAN is available for free, no one has to pay any fee or enter into any agreement to use anything on CPAN. If we find a distribution that says otherwise, we (as in the PAUSE admins) remove it from CPAN. How about some other ways to measure this metric? Let's not divide the world into people who use Module::Build and those who don't. Makefile.PL still drives most distributions, and, at least for me, I've never received a complaint that dealt with a Makemaker issue.
