That's no longer true. See, for example:

  http://search.cpan.org/dist/Symbol-Approx-Sub/

Which includes "Perl (Artistic and GPL)".

I'm pretty sure that's driven by the "licence" key in META.yml. And having your distribution containing both machine-readable and human-readable licence information are two of the CPANTS project's "kwalitee" measures - see, for example,

  http://cpants.perl.org/dist/kwalitee/Symbol-Approx-Sub

So, this is an issue that the Perl community is aware of and is working on.

Cheers,
