Set-Object used to be licensed under the Perl Artistic license, and
|
||||
the documentation still says so (I expect it being updated with the
|
||||
next upstream release). Due to the artistic license not being
|
||||
accepted as free license by the FSF I've asked the authors whenever
|
||||
they agree to relicense the package and fortunaly they did, so the
|
||||
package now carries the same license as perl itself (which is the
|
||||
choice between Artistic and GPL).

Hello Gerd.
|
||||
|
||||
I agree to relicense Set::Object under the same terms as (current) Perl
|
||||
itself - which is probably the choice between two licenses: Artistic 2.0 and
|
||||
GPL.
|
||||
|
||||
Cordially,
|
||||
Jean-Louis

That's right, of Sound Object Logic.

Yes, I can speak for that copyright holder, and they are happy to
|
||||
license under any FSF-approved Free Software license, including the Perl
|
||||
Artistic/GPL disjunction.
|
||||
|
||||
Contact Jean-Louis - if nothing comes back I might have to investigate a
|
||||
rewrite.

|
||||
Cheers,
|

Sam.
