--- Comment #3 from Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
The header file is an embedded copy of ppport.h, from Devel::PPPort. That file,
like the rest of Devel::PPPort, is under the same license as perl (GPL+ or
Artistic). It is compiled into the binary results that go into the
Params-Validate binary RPM, thus, it _must_ be reflected in the license.

The correct license tag for the Params-Validate package is:

# One file is GPL+ or Artistic: c/ppport.h
License: Artistic 2.0 and (GPL+ or Artistic)

You could, perhaps, ask the copyright holder for Devel::PPPort if they would be
willing to permit use of the bundled c/ppport.h under the terms of the Artistic
2.0 license, but as is right now, they have not given approval for that, and it
would not be correct to use it under those terms.

Please correct the license tag at your earliest convenience.
