Subject: Beerware license
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 11:21:30 -0400
To: bug-Net-HL7 [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Bill Pemberton <wfp5p [...] worldbroken.com>
This is not exactly a bug, but a request to modify the license. I was going to package Net::HL7 for Fedora but the Fedora legal folks consider your variant of the Beerware license non-free since it requires the beer instead of requesting it. Would you be willing to change the wording of the license? -- Bill

Well, I need to discuss this with my legal departement... ;) Ok, what if I change it to: ... you are strongly encouraged to do so. ?

That should be fine for them. The silly lawyers... I'll be happy to buy you a beer if there's ever the opportunity. Thanks. -- Bill

Done. From version 0.81 on, the license is truly free! Hurray! This version is uploaded to CPAN, so should appear on the download sites shortly. Also code is pushed to github. D.
