| Subject: | GPL version not parsed |
Hi,
At the moment, it seems like Module::Install does not report which
version of the GPL license is used for a Perl script or module, even if
this is specified explicitly in its POD.
Example:
=head1 COPYRIGHT

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with Grinder. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
The version reported in META.yml should then be 'gpl3' but it is only 'gpl'.
The example given above is the exact phrasing recommended by the FSF
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html). Thus I suggest that
Module::Install returns 'gpl3' at least for this phrasing.
Cheers,
