Larry's license is the Artistic license, not GPL. |

The license file 'README' has changed due to the following diff: - $p3->parse($foo, ProtocolEncoding => 'ISO-8859-1'); - close($foo); + $p3->parse($fh, ProtocolEncoding => 'ISO-8859-1'); + close($fh); This does not affect the licensing terms. A 'LICENSE' file was added in 2.47, but it contains the terms of the wrong license (Artistic 2.0), while this package is under Artistic or GPL-1.0+. This has been reported upstream at cpan-authors/XML-Parser#99. Signed-off-by: Kevin Cui <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]>

The metadata says https://metacpan.org/release/TODDR/XML-Parser-2.47/source/META.yml#L13 This includes Artistic (1.0?) and GPL 1.0: https://dev.perl.org/licenses/ Hoewever, the That's also problematic for automated tools that try to get the license from a module. They might get the wrong one. btw, not sure how to specify something like "perl5, but Artistic 2.0 instead of 1.0 in the META.(json|yml). |

Looks like the license got updated into
Artistic-2.0per 298c06c, which is not aligned with perl5, https://github.com/Perl/perl5/blob/blead/Copying. Thus, filing this PR to update license, @toddr let me know if it makes sense. Thanks!relates to:
