The GPL is not a contract, it's a copyright license, just like both the
proposed AL-2.0 and the original AL.
I believe (IANAL) that End User License Agreements can be contracts,
particularly under UCITA, but I don't think that's a direction we want to go
in with a license for Perl.

Well, I don't think there's much point in inferring what Larry will do. An
RFC concerning the trademark/service mark is under his advisement---we'll
just have to see what he says.
