Softwar...GFDL_1_2(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so bestie, Software::License::GFDL_1_2 is literally the GNU Free Documentation License v1.2, packaged up all cute and ready to go πŸ’…

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.104007 β€” yes ma'am, that's the number, don't @ me πŸ”₯

🫢 PERL VERSION 🫢

So here's the tea β˜• β€” this module is part of the CPAN toolchain, or at least it's treated like it is. And because of that, it follows the agreement of the Perl Toolchain Gang (iconic name, no notes) to require no newer version of perl than one released in the last ten years. Slay, honestly.

That version may change β€” but only by agreement of the Toolchain Gang. For now though, it's governed by the Lancaster Consensus from 2013 and the Lion Amendment of 2023 (which you can read about at the linked-to document):

https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/toolchain-site/blob/master/lancaster-consensus.md

And yeah, it might totally work on older versions of perl, but ngl, there's no guarantee that the minimum required version won't get bumped. The version can be increased for literally any reason, and there's no promise that patches to lower the minimum required perl will be accepted. So like… don't count on it πŸ™ˆ
