That I can answer: Dean Roehrich, then called Class::Template, license
Perl 5's dual Artistic/GPL (as it was contributed directly to Perl's
core as a standard module). Later renamed to Class::Struct and
modified by Jim Miner, then Damian Conway (the damian of the CC list),
then Casey West (formerly Casey Tweten), no license changes by any of
them.
