Subject: Please consider different license than Artistic
Current code is licensed under the terms of Artistic license. From README: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the Artistic License, a copy of which can be found with perl. As I understand, it's the original Artistic 1 license <http://dev.perl.org/licenses/artistic.html>. Unfortunately this license is not acceptable for some parties, e.g. Fedora Linux distribution, because it's too vague <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ArtisticLicense>. Could you please consider changing license conditions of this software to something else. For example either the Artistic 2.0 license or dual-licensing with GNU GPL as Perl does <http://dev.perl.org/licenses/>?

Hello, I agree to change the license to say something along "can be redistributed under the same terms as Perl". That will no longer refer to any particular license. Thanks, Raphael
