Hi Bob, In short, the answer is that there are actually three different variations of Artistic 1.0, as follows: - the one on OSI site with clause 8 - the one on OSI site without clause 8 - the one on the Perl site
After conferring with the OSI on how to deal with this for purposes of the SPDX License List, we created a different short identifier for each. I will forward you the email I sent to the SPDX legal list and OSI list on this issue separately.
