I oversee the grant committee but I don't speak for it so it's quite possible 
that what I say is wrong, but I'm willing to bet money that if someone requests 
a grant for Test::Run under its current license, it has ZERO chance of being 
approved.  The grant committee members aren't lawyers and they're not going to 
sit around and wonder if the license is compatible, nor are they simply going 
to take your word for it.

Of course, even with that little issue taken care of, I still can't say that 
Test::Run would be approved.  We'd probably need evidence that the core Perl-QA 
people supported the project.  We get enough grant requests in that we 
generally have to trust that those in the Perl community with the most 
experience in a given area know what they're talking about.  Maybe that's not 
the best approach, but sooner or later we have to trust *someone's* judgment.

Cheers,
Ovid
