Ok, this is free software, you have rights to modify and distribute modified copies. However, you cannot just throw away the original copyright.

This is more a limitation of dzil than anything, but just to keep this from being a silly pedantic issue, I abandoned this project and transferred control of it to Vincent. That includes the copyright interest I held. This change is not a problem.

Can you clarify what the problem with dzil was? I'll get it fixed.

Not really a problem per se, but I'm pretty sure you can't specify more than one copyright_holder. But I doubt anyone expects this. On a project this small arguing about the name on the copyright is pedantry, and on something larger you would generally ask for assignment from contributors. So nothing to see here, really.

I'm planning to add a note that says some things about the fact that I took over the module, and that is the original author is Stephen Clouse.

copyright_holder = Fred Flintstone <fred@example.com>, Barney Rubble <barney@example.com> It's just a string :)
