And what about BACKPAN (backpan has backissues of cpan ;D)?

I think if all the *cpan.org sites simply included a little link at the bottom about copyright, which would clarify what perl authors mean when they say "the same terms as Perl itself" and/or if that document was included in the root cpan direcotry, there would be no issue.

update: Actually, you know what, there is no issue.

How are Perl and the CPAN modules licensed?
