Softwar...::GPL_1(3)

okay bestie, this is Softwar...::GPL_1(3), from User Contributed Perl Documentation — the manual page we're reading together. It's giving license-module main character energy, and we're gonna get through it. 🫶

🎀 NAME 🎀

Software::License::GPL_1 — the GNU General Public License, Version 1. That's the name, that's the vibe, periodt. ✨

💖 VERSION 💖

version 0.104007. Noted. Screenshotted. Saved to the group chat. 💅

🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

okay so this part is important, bestie, and it's not just Perl-girlie lore. This module is part of CPAN toolchain, or is treated as such. As such, it follows the agreement of the Perl Toolchain Gang to require no newer version of perl than one released in the last ten years. This version may change by agreement of the Toolchain Gang, but for now is governed by the Lancaster Consensus <https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/toolchain-site/blob/master/lancaster-consensus.md> of 2013 and the Lyon Amendment of 2023 (described at the linked-to document). 🦋

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. So like, do not come for the minimum unless the Toolchain Gang says so, iykyk. 😭
