As Dave mentioned earlier the CPANTS project is trying to measure
various "kwalitees" of the modules. Among other things it checks if both the
META.yaml and the source code has licenses. I am sure the current way of
checking it has some flaws but I am also sure the CPANTS project will reduce
your work by eliminating some of the issues you encounter.

So if you do find a module with problematic licenses it would be great
if you could
check if CPANTS  http://cpants.perl.org/ has also caught that issue.
If yes, you can point that out to the author.
If not, please ping Thomas Klausner, the CPANTS developer or one of his helpers
e.g. me so we can improve the metric used.
