Given that we don't support denoting multiple licenses, I concur that it is appropriate to tag perl with artistic instead of GPL2. >> It may be that we should add licenses/perl-license (perhaps just >> referring to permission to copy under either gpl2 or artistic) and add >> perl-license to DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_LICENESES in license.mk. > > Yes, I think this is probably best.

I meant to add the file artistic-license, and then to add perl-license that explains dual licensing under GPL and artistic, and then tag perl with perl-license. But just tagging with artistic sounds fine.
