Softwar...se::MIT(3)
π Software::License::MIT(3) β the glow-up π
okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (yes, that's the manual name, we're not copying the header line verbatim, we're just vibing with it up here at the top β¨). It's Software::License::MIT β aka the module that knows all about the MIT license, which is also known as the X11 license. Two names, one iconic license, no cap π
πΈ NAME πΈ
Software::License::MIT β the MIT (aka X11) License. literally that's it, that's the whole name, and honestly? she ate. π
β VERSION β
version 0.104007
that's the version, bestie. write it down. π
π¦ PERL VERSION π¦
okay so this part is important, and it's giving "community governance" in the best way possible π«Ά
This module is part of the CPAN toolchain, or at least it's treated like it is. Because of that, it follows the agreement of the Perl Toolchain Gang that it will require no newer version of perl than one released in the last ten years. Slay. That's the deal.
This version may change by agreement of the Toolchain Gang β but for now, it's 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 (which is described at the linked-to document). π
π Heads up bestie: although it may work on older versions of perl, there is no guarantee that the minimum required version won't 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 likeβ¦ don't come for them with a "lower the minimum" patch, okay? π
