+    My interpretation of the GNU General Public License is that no Perl
+    script falls under the terms of the License unless you explicitly put
+    said script under the terms of the License yourself.  Furthermore, any
+    object code linked with uperl.o does not automatically fall under the
+    terms of the License, provided such object code only adds definitions
+    of subroutines and variables, and does not otherwise impair the
+    resulting interpreter from executing any standard Perl script.  I
+    consider linking in C subroutines in this manner to be the moral
+    equivalent of defining subroutines in the Perl language itself.  You
+    may sell such an object file as proprietary provided that you provide
+    or offer to provide the Perl source, as specified by the GNU General
+    Public License.  (This is merely an alternate way of specifying input
+    to the program.)  You may also sell a binary produced by the dumping of
+    a running Perl script that belongs to you, provided that you provide or
+    offer to provide the Perl source as specified by the License.  (The
+    fact that a Perl interpreter and your code are in the same binary file
+    is, in this case, a form of mere aggregation.)  This is my interpretation
+    of the License.  If you still have concerns or difficulties understanding
