I'd like to encourage public contribution of code and documentation without restricting the rights of others to use the resulting package - i.e. "free as in beer". Since it's written in Perl, and CPAN seems to be the best distribution mechanism, I think I'll mark it as using the same licensing terms as Perl. -- Geoff Rowell geoff.row...@gmail.com
