Just that. You are free to license your Perl distributions under
whatever license you wish to use. This is a good thing.

The only issue I had at one point was that I couldn't update
perl-MooX-Role-Parameterized because one of its dependencies was not in
Fedora (this is bug #2256220, FTR). This ceased to be an issue
when I orphaned the package.

By that logic, having Throwable-SugarFactory licensed under a
Fedora-approved license would be twice as problematic as it being under
a non-Fedora-approved one since that would have required me to do two
actions:

1) submit perl-Throwable-SugarFactory as a package in Fedora
2) update perl-MooX-Role-Parameterized, adding
   perl-Throwable-SugarFactory in its dependencies

The list of accepted licenses is here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/#_allowed_licenses

Any license on that list will do. I suppose you could craft your own
license and ask Fedora Legal to consider it for inclusion in that list.
Please, don't do this. Nothing can justify the amount of work this will
require. You can also give the user of your distributions the choice of
several licenses.

FTR, most Perl packages are licensed under the same license as Perl itself.
That is "GPL-1.0-or-later OR Artistic-1.0-Perl" in the list. That said,
MooX-Role-Parameterized is licensed under the MIT license.

Note that putting your distributions under a Fedora-approved license is
not a garentee that they will end up packaged. Again, I suspect you
are trying to solve a problem that does not exist. That said, if I can
help in any way I can, feel free to ask.
