NAME
       Software::LicenseUtils - little useful bits of code for licensey things
VERSION
       version 0.103013
METHODS
   guess_license_from_pod
         my @guesses = Software::LicenseUtils->guess_license_from_pod($pm_text);
       Given text containing POD, like a .pm file, this method will attempt to
       guess at the license under which the code is available.  This method
       will either a list of Software::License classes (or instances) or
       false.
       Calling this method in scalar context is a fatal error.
   guess_license_from_meta
         my @guesses = Software::LicenseUtils->guess_license_from_meta($meta_str);
       Given the content of the META.(yml|json) file found in a CPAN
       distribution, this method makes a guess as to which licenses may apply
       to the distribution.  It will return a list of zero or more
       Software::License instances or classes.
   guess_license_from_meta_key
         my @guesses = Software::LicenseUtils->guess_license_from_meta_key($key, $v);
       This method returns zero or more Software::License classes known to use
       $key as their META key.  If $v is supplied, it specifies whether to
       treat $key as a v1 or v2 meta entry.  Any value other than 1 or 2 will
       raise an exception.
   new_from_short_name
         my $license_object = Software::LicenseUtils->new_from_short_name( {
            short_name => 'GPL-1',
            holder => 'X. Ample'
         }) ;
       Create a new Software::License object from the license specified with
       "short_name". Known short license names are "GPL-*", "LGPL-*" ,
       "Artistic" and "Artistic-*"
