It is not. GPLv2 says, it's a "should":

"You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software ..."

That said, not shipping the GPL is pretty common in perl-dists, because
perl-dist authors often take knowing the GPL for granted. It's nothing I would
bother upstreams with, but this is just my personal preference.


More important than this, is this:
..
=head1 LEGACY INTERFACE

B<Note:> this legacy interface is now deprecated, and will be dropped
in a future release. Please let me (Neil) know if you're using this
interface, and I'll do something to continue supporting you.
...

I.e. if there shouldn't be any other _actively maintained_ package (not one
from a computer museum), I'd recommend Fedora not to ship this perl-dist.
