If you supply LICENSE => 'artistic_2_0' a value that is not listed in CPAN::Meta::Spec EUMM will silently ignore it and put 'unknown' in the META files. Would it be possible to warn or even abort the process when an unrecognized value is found in the LICENSE field?
You'll get more discussion if you open this as a github issue.
