  Thu Sep 18 07:20:20 2014 REHSACK [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: Avoid Guard or make it at least optional
Since https://metacpan.org/release/Guard has no reasonable license nor any terms of use pointing to a reasonable statement of the author regarding the permissions of using his code, it's an unpredictable risk for any consultant/employee to use such a software in any product. Please work out and document where Guard is needed and make it optional (recommended) if it cannot be avoided at all and add documentation how to avoid it.

I have a branch without it, but I'm stalled getting documentation done to ship it. Feel free to lean on me to finish it up. :-) David On Sep 18, 2014 7:20 AM, "Jens Rehsack via RT" < bug-Log-Any-Adapter@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

I'll take a look. Before I stuck - in your Github repo list? Jens

What about https://metacpan.org/source/MLEHMANN/Guard-1.023/COPYING ?
  Fri Dec 12 02:06:25 2014 REHSACK [...] cpan.org - Correspondence added
I commented that against him: It contains a COPYING file which is neither displayed nor evaluated by any CPAN page, nether cpan-api. To avoid making your life more difficult, I better don't explain more background details why this is important from time to time and especially in the root cause of the issue. In fact, the issue is valid (even when you decide to reject it) without the knowledge of the root cause. Please also check * http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5678462/should-i-provide-a-licence-txt-or-copying-txt-file-in-my-project for details about the license conditions (Perl5 license means either GNU GPLv2 or Artistic 1.0 - but JSON-XS doesn't follow the rules of FSF regarding the GPL). Maybe there is some gap, I'm not a lawyer, I try to follow recommendations there.

Sigh, if the license is Perl_5, why can't he just put that in META.* like a normal vertebrate?

Latest edition -- now part of the Log-Any distribution, does not use Guard.
