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
These methods are attribute readers.
This method returns the name of the license, suitable for shoving in the middle of a sentence, generally with a leading capitalized "The."
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.
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.
This method returns the full text of the license.
This method returns the complete text of the license, preceded by the copyright notice.
This method returns the version of the license. If the license is not versioned, this method will return false.
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.
meta_yml_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.
meta_name
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.
