Config::Model::models::Dpkg::Copyright::GlobalLicense

NAME

Config::Model::models::Dpkg::Copyright::GlobalLicense - Configuration class Dpkg::Copyright::GlobalLicense

DESCRIPTION

Configuration classes used by Config::Model

Represents a license that can be applied to the whole package. This element can be omitted.

The Copyright and License fields in the header paragraph may complement but do not replace the files paragraphs. They can be used to summarise the contributions and redistribution terms for the whole package, for instance when a work combines a permissive and a copyleft license, or to document a compilation copyright and license. It is possible to use only License in the header paragraph, but Copyright alone makes no sense. Optional. Type uniline.
