NAME
       Software::License - packages that provide templated software licenses
VERSION
       version 0.103013
SYNOPSIS
         my $license = Software::License::Discordian->new({
           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
       o   register licenses with aliases to allow $registry->get('gpl', 2);
