Bug #36447 for Text-DHCPLeases:

Wed Jun 04 13:19:20 2008 mark.swayne [...] mac.com - Ticket created

Licensing information is inconsistent. I was looking at the docs for this distribution, and I noticed that different modules appear to be licensed differently. The CPAN distribution page shows license type as "Perl", meaning dual artistic and GPL. Both Text::DHCPLeases and Text::DHCPLeases::Object are licensed under the same terms as Perl, and so agree with the distribution information. However, DHCPLeases::Object::Iterator and Text::DHCPLeases::Object::Iterator bear licensing text that states that they are licensed only under the terms of the GPL. Since these two modules appear (after minimal examination) to be called by the previous two, they appear to override the application of artistic license to anything in the distribution, forcing everything to be GPL only. Please clarify the license under which this body of work is to be utilized.
