20 Module::Install::AutoLicense is a Module::Install extension that
21 generates a "LICENSE" file automatically whenever the author runs
22 "Makefile.PL". On the user side it does nothing.
23
24 When "make distclean" is invoked by the author, the "LICENSE" is
25 removed.
26
27 The appropriate license to determined from the meta provided with the
28 "license" command and the holder of the license from the "author"
29 command.
30
31 Software::License is used to generate the "LICENSE" file.
32
34 This plugin adds the following Module::Install command:
35
36 "auto_license"
37 Does nothing on the user-side. On the author-side it will generate
38 a "LICENSE" file according to the previously supplied "license"
39 command. The "holder" of the license is determined from the
40 "author" meta or may be specified using the "holder" parameter.
41
42 auto_license( holder => 'Vestan Pants and Ivor Biggun' );
43
44 It is important to note that the "auto_license" must follow
45 "author" and "license" commands in the "Makefile.PL" ( as
46 demonstrated in the SYNOPSIS above ), otherwise the meta these
47 commands provide will be unavailable to "auto_license". Call it a
48 feature.
