Module::Install::AutoLicense - A Module::Install extension to automagically generate LICENSE files

Author

       Chris "BinGOs" Williams

Commands

       This plugin adds the following Module::Install command:

       "auto_license"
           Does  nothing on the user-side. On the author-side it will generate a "LICENSE" file according to the
           previously supplied "license" command. The "holder" of the license is determined  from  the  "author"
           meta or may be specified using the "holder" parameter.

             auto_license( holder => 'Vestan Pants and Ivor Biggun' );

           It  is  important  to note that the "auto_license" must follow "author" and "license" commands in the
           "Makefile.PL" ( as demonstrated in the SYNOPSIS above ), otherwise the meta  these  commands  provide
           will be unavailable to "auto_license".  Call it a feature.

Description

       Module::Install::AutoLicense is a Module::Install extension that generates a "LICENSE" file automatically
       whenever the author runs "Makefile.PL". On the user side it does nothing.

       When "make distclean" is invoked by the author, the "LICENSE" is removed.

       The appropriate license to determined from the meta provided with the "license" command and the holder of
       the license from the "author" command.

       Software::License is used to generate the "LICENSE" file.
