Bug Information
Severity: Critical
Broken in: 1.01
Fixed in: 1.301



Subject: missing license and copyright
Hi, I have noticed that MIME-Base32 has no licensing nor copyright statements in the sources. This makes it impossible for people (other that the original copyright holder, whoever that is) to distribute it. It would be nice if you can release a dist that includes license and copyright, for example as POD sections. This will make it possible for Debian to continue to distribute the module. Thanks, Damyan Debian Perl Group

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll note this in the Debian package so that you get no more requests like this :) -- dam
