    Clarify licensing terms (Artistic License 2.0) · aa4a0206
    Chris Novakovic authored
    According to Git commit 5a7b40b8 (previously SVN commit r426),
    Net-SSLeay was relicensed from the OpenSSL License to the Artistic
    License 2.0 in discussions that included Net-SSLeay's original author,
    Sampo Kellomäki. Since then, the module distribution's metadata has been
    vague or inconsistent about its licensing terms: in some places it is
    explicitly stated that the distribution is released under the terms of
    the Artistic License 2.0; others imply the Perl 5 License (i.e.
    dual-licensed under the Artistic License 1.0 and GPL version 1 or
    later), the OpenSSL License (still), or a combination of the three.
    
    This commit clarifies that Net-SSLeay is released under the terms of the
    Artistic License 2.0, and that any contributions made to Net-SSLeay are
    assumed to be provided under those terms. Copyright notices have also
    been standardised across all source files and documentation.
    
    This fixes RT#106314. Thanks to Kent Fredric for pointing out the
    ambiguity.
