=head1 DESCRIPTION

All the code which you release to the outside world needs to have a licence.
This module makes that easy.  It has three pre-defined licences, and enables
you to write your own.  It also ensures that the licence is always easily
accessible to your users from the command-line of your program, by passing
the C<--licence> parameter.

=head1 CONFIGURATION

To configure the module to use your licence, you pass parameters when you
C<use> the module.  Either pass a parameter C<licence>, to use one of the
pre-defined licences (the GPL (C<gpl>), the
Artistic licence (C<artistic>), or put the code in the public domain
(C<null>)),
or pass the C<mylicence> parameter, with a reference to an anonymous hash
which defines the name of your licence and the text of your licence.  The
keys for those in the anonymous hash are, predictably, C<name> and C<text>.
