Hi,
When upgrading the Debian package of Net-XMPP from 1.00 to 1.02, I
noticed that the license was changed from "same as Perl" to "LGPL".
It is not clear which version of the GNU Lesser General Public License
is meant. Yes, there is a LICENSE.LGPL file in the distribution,
containing version 2 of the license, but it is not clear if the
licensing terms are "version 2 exactly" or "either version 2 or any
later version as published by FSF".
Please use the boilerplate after the end of the license (adapted to
Net-XMPP) to avoid any uncertainities.
Additionally, META.yaml contains contradicting information:
license: lgpl
resources:
license: |-

Thanks,
