NAME

Software::License::GPL_3::or_later - GPLv3+ license for Software::License

VERSION

Version 0.009.

DESCRIPTION

Look into Software::License::OrLaterPack for general topics: purpose, installation, etc.

Software::License::GPL_3::or_later is a subclass of Software::License::GPL_3. It overrides few parent methods:

name

appends ", or any later" clause to the parent license name;

version

appends "+" to the parent license version;

notice

returns copyright statement and standard GNU 3-paragraph license notice.

See documentation on Software::License for a general description of the class interface.

METHODS

_name

Returns the name of license, with "the" article in front of name (in lower case). It does include neither license version nor "or any later" clause.

_version

Returns version of the license, just a number, no date, no plus sign at the end.

name

This method, in contrast to _name, meets <Software::License> specification: Definitive article is capitalized ("The"), name includes version and "or any later" clause.

version

Returns version with trailing plus sign.

notice

This method overrides Software::License's notice. Differences are:

  • The method has optional parameter — program name (default name is "this program"). It is used in

    notice text.

  • It returns copyright statement followed by standard GNU 3-paragraph license notice.

  • Result is formatted with Text::Wrap::fill.

Note: Program name is an experimental feature.
