| Subject: | libmodule-starter-perl: Wrong default for --license (maybe just a documentation issue) |
Hi!
This bug has been forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/711512
See below for the report by Axel Beckert. Indeed, the default change to
artistic2 was made with the commit
2cc5e2aae3fe45a91b76c1293c87e6e7eb7cc81f[1] the CLI documentation
however reverted back with 6e312fde06d46928ecbb173df47f2dd06847c905[2].
If I start a new module furthermore the Copyright section has:
This module is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. See L<perlartistic>.
But perlartistic perldoc says still it's GPL-1 or Artistic dual licensed.
Was the change to artistic2 as default thus inteded? If so, are there
other places which needs to be adjusted (e.g. Copyright text, and CLI).

Package: libmodule-starter-perl
Version: 1.600+dfsg-2
Severity: minor
Hi,
the man page module-starter(1p) says:
--license=type License under which the module will be distributed
(default is the same license as perl)
But a module created without --license option got in its Build.PL file:
license => 'Artistic_2_0',
According to the man page as cited above, the value should have been
"perl". So either the documentation is inaccurate or the default value
is wrong.
