23 Valid arguments are:
24 holder - the holder of the copyright; required
26 year - the year of copyright; defaults to current year
27 year
29 holder
30 These methods are attribute readers.
31 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 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 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 license
47 This method returns the full text of the license.
48 fulltext
50 This method returns the complete text of the license, preceded by the
51 copyright notice.
52 version
54 This method returns the version of the license. If the license is not
55 versioned, this method will return false.
56 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 This method may also be invoked as "meta_yml_name" for legacy reasons.
63 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.

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.
