Subject: Consider supporting British spellng of "license".
I've come across some METAs that use the British spelling of "license" as "licence". These will fail the CPAN::Meta conversion process. I realize this is a slippery slope, but do you think it would make sense to support the alternate spelling?

CPAN::Meta::Converter should probably deal with it, but I wouldn't want to support it as an alternate "valid" name. -- David Golden <dagolden@cpan.org> Take back your inbox! → http://www.bunchmail.com/ Twitter/IRC: @xdg
