Awesome, thanks Todd.

So, ignoring GPL or Artistic...

We're down to these 44 packages. We need to send each of the packager
maintainer(s) an email, asking them to contact upstream and convince
them to relicense to Artistic 2.0
(http://www.perlfoundation.org/artistic_license_2_0) or dual license
with some other license on our "good list" (GPL or Artistic is fine).

If we get a lot of pushback, then we'll reconsider Artistic 1.0's status
as a "bad license", but lets at least try.
