*COPYRIGHT CLARIFICATIONS*

Net-Printer 1.* versions

[2008-11-29] Effective immediately, the third clause of the copyright
(a.k.a. the infamous "advertising" clause) has been rescinded.  This
applies to the 0.3* versions as well.

Net-Printer 0.3* versions

Originally, versions 0.3* of Net::Printer were released under a
dual-license consisting of the following:

 * A BSD 3-clause license
 * The Lesser GNU General Public License v2.1
   (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.html)

Due to recent issues regarding the dubious nature of dual-licensing,
All versions marked 0.3* are now considered distributed under the
more permissive BSD 3-clause license.  Dual-Licensing under the LGPL
is henceforth rescinded.

See
http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/gpl-non-gpl-collaboration.html
as the basis of my reasoning.

Net-Printer 0.2* versions

All 0.2* versions remain under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1.
Redistribution under version 3 of the Lesser GNU General Public
License is strictly prohibited.
