Subject: LICENSE file missing from bzip2-src directory
Hello! I was doing a license audit of several of the perl modules I package for Fedora, and noticed that the source files in Compress-Raw-Bzip2's bzip2-src all refer to a file called LICENSE for licensing information...however that file is not included anywhere in the Compress-Raw-Bzip2 tarball. Obviously the file in question is the BSD-style LICENSE file included in bzip2's upstream tarball, but I think for correctness it should be included in bzip2-src (obviously I'm not a lawyer...) This isn't really an issue for Fedora anyway, since we link against the system's bzip2 library instead, but I thought I'd let you know. Thanks for the great module!

Good point. I'm not a lawyer either, but I think you are correct. I'll include it with the next release. Show quoted text
