Subject: Artistic License
Hi, I would like to package this module for Fedora Linux, but as it currently stands I can't, because it's licensed under the original Artistic license, which isn't allowed in Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Artistic1Removal Is there any chance that you could relicense the module as, say, "same as Perl" (i.e. Artistic 1 or GPL version 1 or later dual license) or Artistic 2.0, either of which would be fine for Fedora?

hi paul, sorry i missed this note, i actually did put this module under artistiic2 on github back in march/16. do i need to repackage this on cpan for fedora to be happy? i would suppose the release on github is sufficient.

Is it that hard to do a release? I can't actually find the repo on github, and there's no link to it that I can see in the current CPAN release.
