ok so before we get into it β quick vibe check: you're reading the Devel::...:Debian page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection. that's the manual name bestie, it's literally in the title π and yeah, this page is short, it's just the legal bits, but legal bits are important so let's not be weird about it.

π¦ the licence situation π¦
