Dist::Zilla::Plugin::License(3)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::License - output a LICENSE file

VERSION
version 6.037

DESCRIPTION
This plugin adds a LICENSE file containing the full text of the distribution's license, as produced by the "fulltext" method of the dist's 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.
