There seem to be 2 separate entities that the FAQ is creating a relation between. entity one: The Perl Language and its attendant copyrights and entity two: Yet Another Society and its attendant copyrights I'm a Perl Language user. and a CPAN user. Yet I have not joined Yet Another Society am I am not sure what I would be gaining/giving up by doing so. I find it odd that Stas Bekman found his sponsorship to do full-time mod_perl development with Ticketmaster.com without YAS, but Damian Conway found his sponsorship through it. Also, how does the Perl.org series of sites relate to entities one and two above? And if we really want to get complicated, we can add enity three: O'Reilly and www.Perl.com as another society with its set of copyrights as well.... and of course, while we are at it. we have the now defunct entity four: The Perl Institute. --
