NAME

Pod::Weaver::Section::Legal - a section for the copyright and license

VERSION

version 4.019

OVERVIEW

This section plugin will produce a hunk of Pod giving the copyright and license information for the document, like this:

  =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE
  This document is copyright (C) 1991, Ricardo Signes.
  This document is available under the blah blah blah.

This plugin will do nothing if no "license" input parameter is available. The "license" is expected to be a Software::License object.

PERL VERSION

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
