I will choice a license from http://search.cpan.org/~kwilliams/Module- Build/lib/Module/Build/Authoring.pod#license
The currently used licence is the one i did use into the past for other not CPAN projects. I will change this ASAP. 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.
