./lib/CQL/Parser.pm-439-CQL::Parser is essentially a Perl port of Mike Taylor's cql-java package
./lib/CQL/Parser.pm-440-http://zing.z3950.org/cql/java/. Mike and IndexData were kind enough
./lib/CQL/Parser.pm-441-to allow the author to write this port, and to make it available under
./lib/CQL/Parser.pm:442:the terms of the Artistic License. Thanks Mike!
./lib/CQL/Parser.pm-467-This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
./lib/CQL/Parser.pm:468:it under the same terms as Perl itself
./README-89- CQL::Parser is essentially a Perl port of Mike Taylor's cql-java package
./README-90- http://zing.z3950.org/cql/java/. Mike and IndexData were kind enough to
./README-91- allow the author to write this port, and to make it available under the
./README:92: terms of the Artistic License. Thanks Mike
./README-111- This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
./README:112: under the same terms as Perl itself.
As you see, in some places it says "This is under the Artistic license" and other times "the same terms as Perl itself", but perl is "Under the Artistic OR ( GPL-1 OR GREATER )"
So it seems the rights are restricted to Artistic overall, which the fsf considers non-free.
