Description:

The Perl Artistic License 1.0 is already in the common licenses, but not 2.0. I'm requesting the same as the following feature request, but for version 2.0
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7172

I think this is a fairly common license and the OSI recommends updating Artistic License 1.0 projects to 2.0.

Thanks
This task depends upon

Example of packages needing it or using it *already*?

Parrot uses it. And the package page for it needs to be changed to reflect that. Currently its stated as using GPL.

A non-exhaustive list:

community: ack, parrot, pv, sawfish, perl-datetime. Many perl-related packages in general.

aur:rakudo, perl-regexp-common, perl-package-deprecationmanager, perl-exception-class, all the bioconductor packages (e.g. r-biobase). Many perl-related packages in general.

When these packages do reference the Perl Artistic License, they inaccurately reference version 1.0 rather than 2.0.

Thanks!
