Bug 1243506

This Beerware variant doesn't appear to be free since the drink is mandatory:

                     BEER-WARE LICENSE

                   Version 666, July 2012

You can use this stuff and do whatever you like with it on the
following condition:

0. Would you ever be in a situation where you are able to offer
   us, or one of us, a beer, or if unavailable, an alcoholic 
   beverage of your choice, you must do so.

I was a afraid of that.  I thought ANY of the Beerware weren't allowed, but then I saw the above link and (falsely) thought Beerware was Beerware....

You can also ask on the legal@ list.  I'm not sure whether simply blocking FE-Legal is enough to get any legal attention.

You could also contact upstream, explain the situation and ask them change the license to be a little bit more permissive.

I've mailed the legal list.

Sadly, confirmed as a non-free license.  Closing the review.

Might be worth contacting the project authors and asking if they'd be open to switching to a more friendly, less demanding license variant.

Yes, I was going to contact the authors.  I've just not gotten to it yet.

The author agreed to change the wording of the license from "you must do so" to "you are strongly encouraged to do so".  I think that makes it ok now, so here's another version of the rpm.

Wonderful :)

* The license isn't just Beerware.  Everything under the lib/Net/HL7/ directory is licensed under the usual `same as perl' terms.
  The correct License tag would be `Beerware and (GPL+ or Artistic)'.

* Some build deps are missing:
  - perl(base)
    + lib/Net/HL7/Daemon.pm:4
    + lib/Net/HL7/Daemon.pm:121
    + lib/Net/HL7/Messages/ACK.pm:17
    + lib/Net/HL7/Request.pm:14
    + lib/Net/HL7/Response.pm:14
    + lib/Net/HL7/Segments/MSH.pm:15
  - perl(Config)
    + t/daemon.t:36
    + t/message.t:6
  - perl(Errno)
    + lib/Net/HL7/Connection.pm:7
    + lib/Net/HL7/Daemon.pm:213
  - perl(IO::Socket)
    + lib/Net/HL7/Connection.pm:6
    + lib/Net/HL7/Daemon.pm:3
    + lib/Net/HL7/Daemon.pm:119
  - perl(IO::Socket::INET)
    + lib/Net/HL7/Daemon.pm:4
    + lib/Net/HL7/Daemon.pm:121
  - perl(POSIX)
    + lib/Net/HL7/Segments/MSH.pm:16
  - perl(Sys::Hostname)
    + lib/Net/HL7/Daemon.pm:91

* The Sys::Hostname dependency won't get autodetected by our generators.
  You need to require it explicitly.

* You should own the %{perl_vendorlib}/Net directory here, too.
  %{perl_vendorlib}/* is sufficient.

Updated to address the above comments:
