> It seems that EU::MM is spitting out different data into META.yml and META.json for some fields, in particular for the licence. This was reported against one of my modules (see
https://github.com/DrHyde/perl-modules-Data-Compare/issues/15) so I'm passing it on.
This is expected behavior. Meta 1.4 (yml) can't express dual-licenses,
so it summarizes it to open source or not.
