Package a copyright file with a distribution
In Makefile.PL:
write_copyright_file;
Extracts copyright and licensing information from embedded pod and/or \s-1RDF\s0 metadata included in the distribution, and outputs it as a text file called \*(L"\s-1COPYRIGHT\s0\*(R" which should roughly conform to the Debian copyright file format.
This module provides one function for use in Module::Install-based Makefile.PL scripts:
Please report any bugs to http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=Module-Install-Copyright <http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=Module-Install-Copyright>.
This is a plugin for Module::Install.
It relies on metadata from Module::Install::RDF.
It outputs data roughly conforming to http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ <http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/>.
