[Xapian-discuss] Question about license of Perl module Search::Xapian

[David F. Skoll]

Hi,

The Perl module Search::Xapian's README file ends with these lines:

=====================================================================
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the same terms as Perl itself.
=====================================================================

(http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/OLLY/Search-Xapian-1.2.4.0/README)

But is that really true?  It links against libxapian.so.XX which is GPL'd,
so surely Search::Xapian's license is GPL and not the Perl license?

Could someone clarify this, please?

Regards,

David.
