in reply to license issues

I don't really care for lawyers very much, but I'll tell you what my companies lawyer who is in charge of this type of thing says of open type licenses:

Use only those modules released under the SAME license as Perl itself and declare themselves as such. If you find a SINGLE variation statement, dont use it.

    Which is a great way for the lawyer to avoid work :-)

    At the least he could have made a list of the OSS approved licences that your company would accept.

    Did the lawyer say why? Maybe to avoid possible contradictions between different license types?
