Subject: different copyright and license notices for some files
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 13:33:01 +0200
To: bug-CGI.pm [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Ansgar Burchardt <ansgar [...] 2008.43-1.org>
Hi, I downloaded CGI.pm 3.40 and noticed that some files have different copyright and license information: CGI/Cookie.pm, CGI/Fast.pm, CGI/Push.pm have a header that says It may be used and modified freely, but I do request that this copyright notice remain attached to the file. You may modify this module as you wish, but if you redistribute a modified version, please attach a note listing the modifications you have made. while the POD documentation states This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. Also the years given in the copyright notices in the header and the POD differ. Regards, Ansgar -- PGP: 1024D/595FAD19 739E 2D09 0969 BEA9 9797 B055 DDB0 2FF7 595F AD19

Lincoln, Is it OK to update all files to have the same consistent copyright/license statement? I would recommend the standard Perl statement for minimal confusion and maximal compatibility: "This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself."
