Huh?
If you mean GPL, it is there to prevent ugly little comedies like theft of
someone's college homework program making a commercial killing significant
enough to produce some of the world's richest folks. Perl has two licenses
and you may use either.
The only restriction on the free license is that if you modify/distribute the
software you obtained under the license, you have to pass on the freedoms to
use, modify, distribute and distribute modified versions to those you
distribute to as well.
If you did a development install of GNU/LM, you have many of the languages on
your machine. Others are available by searching www.freshmeat.net,
www.google.com, and www.sourceforge.com. In addition, you might want to try
searching
"computer operating systems"
because there are other experimental systems out there--lots of them, that
often have pet languages. Many of those systems and languages are totally
free--uncopyrighted and ready to be exploited, free as in beer, not as in
speech.
