That's no longer true. See, for example:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Symbol-Approx-Sub/
Which includes "Perl (Artistic and GPL)".
I'm pretty sure that's driven by the "licence" key in META.yml. And
having your distribution containing both machine-readable and
human-readable licence information are two of the CPANTS project's
"kwalitee" measures - see, for example,
http://cpants.perl.org/dist/kwalitee/Symbol-Approx-Sub
So, this is an issue that the Perl community is aware of and is working on.
