Subject: Inconsistent LICENSE and COPYRIGHT data

Me again.

 

There's a bit of inconsistency with licensing and I'm not sure how to resolve.

 

LICENSE says Perl5 Licensing is in effect w/ AL1 + GPL1+

https://metacpan.org/source/SHLOMIF/Term-Shell-0.08/LICENSE

Build.PL says copyright/author is shlomif and license is MIT

 

https://metacpan.org/source/SHLOMIF/Term-Shell-0.08/Build.PL#L18 

https://metacpan.org/source/SHLOMIF/Term-Shell-0.08/Build.PL#L22

 

META.json agrees with Build.PL

https://metacpan.org/source/SHLOMIF/Term-Shell-0.08/META.json#L4 

https://metacpan.org/source/SHLOMIF/Term-Shell-0.08/META.json#L16

 

META.yml agrees with Build.PL

https://metacpan.org/source/SHLOMIF/Term-Shell-0.08/META.yml#L4

 

README agrees with Build.PL

https://metacpan.org/source/SHLOMIF/Term-Shell-0.08/README#L8-12

As does Dist.ini

https://metacpan.org/source/SHLOMIF/Term-Shell-0.08/dist.ini#L2-5

 

And Main Module:

 

https://metacpan.org/source/SHLOMIF/Term-Shell-0.08/lib/Term/Shell.pm#L1950-1960

 

However, Prior to 0.04, the licensing data had copyright to NEILW and the license was under Perl5

https://metacpan.org/pod/release/SHLOMIF/Term-Shell-0.03/lib/Term/Shell.pod#AUTHOR

 

So its not clear whether the bug is the change to MIT license, or the addition of an inconsistent LICENSE file.
