For a while Path-Class, Archive-Any and even Encode all lacked
license statements. Happily these are now fixed, but if a
policy like what you propose had been in place they would have
not been allowed in CPAN, much to everyone's loss.
You mean the authors of these modules would have taken their ball
and gone home, instead of just fixing their lack of licence and
reuploading?
:-) True enough. You've poked a gaping hole in my argument.
Although I've declared I'm in favor of the ad hoc system that is in
place now, I would not be opposed to a PAUSE rule that required every
upload to contain a LICENSE or COPYING file. That would certainly
have made my Module::License::Report package easier to write!
