External plugins:

The license is not usable for us. It is Perl Artistic. Could you ask upstream to change it for Artistic 2.0 or Perl license (GPL+ or Artistic)?

Comment 2 Petr Šabata 2012-04-27 13:03:56 UTC
The CPAN module page says it's GPL+ or Artistic so I think this is just a wording issue.  I've asked upstream for clarification.

Comment 3 Marcela Mašláňová 2014-03-20 16:12:39 UTC
Ping? :) License verified?

Comment 4 Petr Šabata 2014-03-24 14:50:07 UTC
I haven't heard from upstream.

I see a new version is out and it still mentions "Perl Artistic 2.0" but points to regular Artistic 2.0 which is also attached.

This is really old.  I suggest you package the new version and I'll review the package again.

Comment 5 Marcela Mašláňová 2014-03-24 17:44:37 UTC
I? You were the packager :) If you are not interested any more, just close the review.

Comment 6 Petr Šabata 2014-03-26 18:56:52 UTC
Ah, right :)
Well, I'm not, really.
