Yes, you're right, the license is restricted, I was not challenging that. I was only saying that's not the first thing I would have said about it. But that doesn't really matter; the main point in my eyes is that it is freely available for download by anyone.
I'll be at the European Perl Conference in Amsterdam in August (and, as pointed out by Rolf, at the French Perl Workshop in June), but I will not come to Washington for the NA Perl Conference. I thought about coming over to Washington at one point (I have some very good friends living in Washington and nearby in Virginia), but I finally gave up the idea.
