SYNOPSIS

holder => 'Ricardo Signes',
});
print $output_fh $license->fulltext;
METHODS
new
my $license = $subclass->new(\%arg);
This method returns a new license object for the given license class.
Valid arguments are:
holder - the holder of the copyright; required
year - the year of copyright; defaults to current year
year
holder
These methods are attribute readers.
name
This method returns the name of the license, suitable for shoving in
the middle of a sentence, generally with a leading capitalized "The."
url
This method returns the URL at which a canonical text of the license
can be found, if one is available. If possible, this will point at
plain text, but it may point to an HTML resource.
notice
This method returns a snippet of text, usually a few lines, indicating
the copyright holder and year of copyright, as well as an indication of
the license under which the software is distributed.
license
This method returns the full text of the license.
fulltext
This method returns the complete text of the license, preceded by the
copyright notice.
version
This method returns the version of the license. If the license is not
versioned, this method will return false.
meta_name
This method returns the string that should be used for this license in
the CPAN META.yml file, according to the CPAN Meta spec v1, or undef if
there is no known string to use.
This method may also be invoked as "meta_yml_name" for legacy reasons.
meta2_name
This method returns the string that should be used for this license in
the CPAN META.json or META.yml file, according to the CPAN Meta spec
v2, or undef if there is no known string to use. If this method does
not exist, and "meta_name" returns open_source, restricted,
unrestricted, or unknown, that value will be used.
LOOKING UP LICENSE CLASSES
If you have an entry in a META.yml or META.json file, or similar
metadata, and want to look up the Software::License class to use, there
are useful tools in Software::LicenseUtils.
TODO
· register licenses with aliases to allow $registry->get('gpl', 2);
