πŸ¦‹ hey bestie, welcome to Devel::...:Fedora(3) πŸ¦‹

okay so this is one of those pages from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and ngl it's a short one β€” literally just the legal bit, no cap. But we're gonna read it together anyway because that's what besties do πŸ’…

that's it, that's the whole vibe. David made this and he gets the credit, periodt.

🌸 the licence (yes, with a c, it's giving British)

This software is free-as-in-speech software πŸ’– β€” not "free as in pizza", free as in you can actually do stuff with it. Specifically, you're allowed to:

  • use it πŸ”₯
  • distribute it 🌈
  • modify it πŸ› οΈ

all under the terms of either the GNU General Public Licence version 2 or the Artistic Licence. and here's the iconic part: it's up to you which one you use πŸ‘‘ β€” genuinely your call, bestie, nobody's gonna come for you either way.

the full text of the licences lives in these two files, respectively:

  • GPL2.txt β€” for the GNU General Public Licence version 2
  • ARTISTIC.txt β€” for the Artistic Licence
πŸ’€ lowkey important: they're two separate files, and the "respectively" is doing real work here β€” GPL2.txt goes with the GPL, ARTISTIC.txt goes with the Artistic Licence. don't mix 'em up, iykyk.

🧚 that's the whole page

fr fr, there is nothing else. no options, no synopsis, no bugs section β€” just vibes and licensing. sometimes a manpage is a one-trick pony and honestly? respect πŸ™ˆ
