Crypt::Blowfish just says: ---- The implementation of the Blowfish algorithm was developed by, and is copyright of, A.M. Kuchling. Other parts of the perl extension and module are copyright of Systemics Ltd ( http://www.systemics.com/ ). Code revisions, updates, and standalone release are copyright 1999-2001 W3Works, LLC. ---- I expect this kind of thing is repeated; there's a copyright, but it gives no hint that it can be redistributed. Everyone assumes that it's implicit because the author uploaded it to CPAN, but CPAN explicitly says that you can't assume that. At least one other module is held up in review for just this issue. (perl-Log-Dispatch-FileRotate, I think). Each of these "Distributable" modules needs a rereview and will probably have to be pulled unless the authors will clarify. I know Crypt::Blowfish has modules which depend on it, so this will cause problems. - J<
