The license if full of the usual only if you pay for it, do not modify, do not redistribute, you may not copy any of this code language common to commercial products.

Ignoring whether commercial applications with restrictive licences should be on CPAN, it sounds like its incompatable anyway. Considering the mirror structure of CPAN a "do not redistribute" clause does not make sense.

Update: If the OP is talking about Astro::SLA they need to take another look at the licence. The Perl module is distributed under the same terms as Perl. It can talk to a C and Fortran version of the underlying library code. Neither the C or Fortran code is distributed with the Perl module. The Fortran library is GPL. The C one is proprietary.

If it isn't Astro::SLA I would like to know what it is :-)
