13           holder => 'Ricardo Signes',

METHODS

19   new
20         my $license = $subclass->new(\%arg);
21
22       This method returns a new license object for the given license class.
23       Valid arguments are:
24
25         holder - the holder of the copyright; required
26         year   - the year of copyright; defaults to current year
27
28   year
29   holder
30       These methods are attribute readers.
31
32   name
33       This method returns the name of the license, suitable for shoving in
34       the middle of a sentence, generally with a leading capitalized "The."
35
36   url
37       This method returns the URL at which a canonical text of the license
38       can be found, if one is available.  If possible, this will point at
39       plain text, but it may point to an HTML resource.
40
41   notice
42       This method returns a snippet of text, usually a few lines, indicating
43       the copyright holder and year of copyright, as well as an indication of
44       the license under which the software is distributed.
45
46   license
47       This method returns the full text of the license.
48
49   fulltext
50       This method returns the complete text of the license, preceded by the
51       copyright notice.
52
53   version
54       This method returns the version of the license.  If the license is not
55       versioned, this method will return false.
56
57   meta_name
58       This method returns the string that should be used for this license in
59       the CPAN META.yml file, according to the CPAN Meta spec v1, or undef if
60       there is no known string to use.
61
62       This method may also be invoked as "meta_yml_name" for legacy reasons.
63
64   meta2_name
65       This method returns the string that should be used for this license in
66       the CPAN META.json or META.yml file, according to the CPAN Meta spec
67       v2, or undef if there is no known string to use.  If this method does
68       not exist, and "meta_name" returns open_source, restricted,
69       unrestricted, or unknown, that value will be used.
70

LOOKING UP LICENSE CLASSES

72       If you have an entry in a META.yml or META.json file, or similar
73       metadata, and want to look up the Software::License class to use, there
74       are useful tools in Software::LicenseUtils.
75

TODO

77       ·   register licenses with aliases to allow $registry->get('gpl', 2);
