+ For those of you that choose to use the GNU General Public License,

+ object code linked with perl does not automatically fall under the
+ terms of the GPL, 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 GPL. (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 GPL. If you still have concerns or difficulties understanding
+ my intent, feel free to contact me. Of course, the Artistic License
+ spells all this out for your protection, so you may prefer to use that.
