=head1 NAME

Module::Install::Copyright - package a COPYRIGHT file with a distribution

=head1 SYNOPSIS

In Makefile.PL:

	write_copyright_file;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Extracts copyright and licensing information from embedded pod and/or RDF
metadata included in the distribution, and outputs it as a text file called
"COPYRIGHT" which should roughly conform to the Debian copyright file format.

This module provides one function for use in L<Module::Install>-based
Makefile.PL scripts:

=over

=item C<< write_copyright_file >>

=back

=head1 BUGS

Please report any bugs to
L<http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=Module-Install-Copyright>.

=head1 SEE ALSO

This is a plugin for L<Module::Install>.

It relies on metadata from L<Module::Install::RDF>.

It outputs data roughly conforming to
L<http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/>.
