Subject: Reverse lookup would be very helpful
It would be nice to have a reverse lookup method or module to map from the CPAN::Meta format to the subclass of Software::License. There is some code in Module::Build ::Base crying out for this and I am contemplating copying and pasting that code. Seems to me a separate module would make sense - that would include all the contributed modules such as Beerware. It could be Software::License::Factory and could return a fully formed Software::License object. I am happy to do it myself and happy for someone else to do it.

I might be missing something, but isn't it the purpose of Software::LicenseUtils::guess_license_from_meta? Cheers, Flavio. On Fri, May 27, 2011 at 11:10 AM, Nicholas Bamber via RT < bug-Software-License@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

Yes that seems to be what I was looking for. Perhaps it could be documented better.

Yes, maybe it would benefit from a little more advertising in the main module's documentation.
