Good catch. It can be built in "author" mode which does indeed embed HTTP::Lite
(and App::perlbrew) into a single perlbrew script. Then the whole thing is
"same as Perl"

Or it can be built and installed normally and simply requires HTTP::Lite. In
which case, it's MIT.

This commit
http://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/commit/8eeb3507cc56bea1fa1db2e0060bfb48553621d3
seems to make the author's intentions clearer. And many of author's other
modules are also MIT.
