String::License - detect source code license statements in a text string

       Jonas Smedegaard "<dr@jones.dk>"

       new
               my $licensed = String::License->new( string => 'Licensed under GPLv2' );

           Accepts named arguments, and constructs and returns a String::License object.

           The following options are recognized:

           string => STRING
               The scalar string to parse for licensing information.

           naming => OBJ
               A String::License::Naming object, used to define license naming conventions.

               By default uses String::License::Naming::SPDX.

               Since  instantiation  of  naming  schemes is expensive, there can be a significant speed boost in
               passing a pre-initialized naming object when processing multiple strings.

       This  program  is  based  on  the script "licensecheck" from the KDE SDK, originally introduced by Stefan
       Westerfeld "<stefan@space.twc.de>".

       String::License identifies license statements in a string and serializes them in a normalized format.

       as_text
           Returns identified licensing patterns as a string, either structured as SPDX License Expressions,  or
           with scheme-less naming as a short description.
