God, I hope I'm not that stupid yet. I did do some research here, but I did have about 60 packages to dig through in a day. Apologies for not catching the connection here. Of course, we had Class::Data::Inheritable mislicensed too (it was incorrectly labeled as GPL+ or Artistic), but I have no one to blame for that but myself (it's my package). A lot of code is dependent upon Damian's work, and I'm waiting to hear back from him on several other perl modules. Nevertheless, I've added bug-Class-Data-Inheritable@rt.cpan.org to the CC list. Damian, Michael, would you be willing to consider relicensing Class::Data::Inheritable too? Thanks, ~spot

While most of the files have "GPL or Artistic" license declaration now, doc/jp/Class-Data-Inheritable.pod in Class-Data-Inheritable-0.08 is still "Artistic only": =head1 著作権 (原文まま) Copyright (c) 2000, Damian Conway and Michael G Schwern. All Rights Reserved. This module is free software. It may be used, redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the Perl Artistic License (see http://www.perl.com/perl/misc/Artistic.html) It would be great to change license of the file to be the same as the other ones because "Artistic only" files are not free enough for some distributors (e.g. Fedora).

Class::Data::Inheritable 0.08 is "same as Perl" and has been since 0.07. doc/jp/ is a translation of an outdated version of the docs. It doesn't appear to have been updated since 0.06. It is a translation and is not canonical.
