Blob Blame History Raw
The licensing for this module is interesting -- the documentation of the
module states that the license is Perl (aka GPL or Artistic), whereas the
files have LGPL headers and the tarball includes the text of the LGPL itself.

Given the author's response, my assessment is that this software is triple
licensed:  It may be used under the terms of the GPL, LGPL, or Artistic
license, at your option.

Whatever.  I don't actually care one way or the other.  Go right ahead.
