The logic you talk about indeed is flawed; What I was thinking is: "If it keeps me from contributing, maybe it keeps others from contributing, too"... Not that I'm such a valuable source of Perl Wisdom, but there are others, where them being dispelled by what looks like sloppiness in licensing, would just be too sad.

I see, that was not the case with Abigail, I was wrong there, as Aighearach proved. But I nevertheless think licensing may be more important than the Everything Development team considers it to be right now, and /might/ be worth a boost in priority; It could even turn out to be a relatively easy way to gain development speed.

And for your second point, as well as for my "objection, as chromatic calls it: I've no problem with everything development and vroom beeing the maintainers of the code. But even it were alpha - which it doesn't seem like, we're using it like production code, here - there's no reason for a license like that (except liking coding better than Licensing Issues, which all of us do, I believe).

There are examples for free alpha code maintained by one person. Development isn't slowed down but speeded up by a good free license - IMNSHO. And that's why I care.
