Subject: License clearification
Hi David, in you're META.yml you specify, Test::Pod is allowed to be distributed under the same terms as Perl, which means either the Artistic license 1.0 or the GNU General Public license 2.0 could be choosen. In the documentation of Pod::Text you write instead: Either Artistic-2.0 or GPL-2.0. Without a distributed LEGAL or COPYING document, the terms for use and distribution are unclear. Could you please fix it for the next distribution? Thanks in advance, Jens

No. Do whatever. I don't have any strong feelings on licensing in general. -- Andy Lester => andy@petdance.com => www.theworkinggeek.com => AIM:petdance

Okay. I'll just change the license stuff to "Same as Perl" like 99% of the CPAN modules out there, since Meta 2.0's support for a list of licenses hasn't landed yet. [Done](http://github.com/theory/test- pod/commit/ca28cade9a43775644135aa04d3583e0641b25c1).
