okay so welcome to Softwar...LGPL_2_1(3), aka a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it's literally about licensing but make it make sense bestie 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

Software::License::LGPL_2_1 — this is the module for the GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 2.1. That's the whole name vibe. Slay.

✨ VERSION ✨

It's giving version 0.104007. Periodt.

🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

Okay so this module is part of the CPAN toolchain, or it's treated like it is — same energy. Because of that, it follows the agreement of the Perl Toolchain Gang: no newer version of perl than one released in the last ten years. That version can change if the Toolchain Gang agrees, but for now it's governed by the Lancaster Consensus at https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/toolchain-site/blob/master/lancaster-consensus.md from 2013, plus the Lyon Amendment of 2023 (described at the linked-to document). Iykyk.

Real talk though: it may work on older versions of perl, but there is no guarantee 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. Not me being dramatic — that's the actual deal 💀
