Alex,
I think what Frank is saying is that your license forbids CPAN from
distributing or mirroring your package without your explicit
permission. That means that CPAN can't let anybody download it
without violating your license. If that's so, what's the point?
I personally suggest you consider one of the more well-known licenses:
http://search.cpan.org/~kwilliams/Module-Build/lib/Module/Build/
Authoring.pod#license
In that classification, yours clearly falls in the category of
"restrictive"
But, of course, I respect whatever choice you make.
Chris

Hi Frank,
This is the licence that i did use for the Application Monitor.
For the ASNMTAP and Nagios compatible CPAN modules you may suggest
a good
licence and i will use it.
