Perl contains two files which contain the infamous BSD advertising clause. This means that Perl cannot technically be distributed under the GPL. The files in question are: ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/dbm.h ext/SDBM_File/sdbm/dbm.c Currently Perl's documentation is *NOT* in compliance with this clause. However the following suggests that we can simply remove the clause: ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change In a brief search I found no other sign of any other potential problems for people wishing to distribute under the GPL.
