NAME

       Module::Install::AutoLicense - A Module::Install extension to automagically generate
       LICENSE files

SYNOPSIS

         # In Makefile.PL

         use inc::Module::Install;
         author 'Vestan Pants';
         license 'perl';
         auto_license;

       An appropriate "LICENSE" file will be generated for your distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       Module::Install::AutoLicense is a Module::Install extension that generates a "LICENSE"
       file automatically whenever the author runs "Makefile.PL". On the user side it does
       nothing.

       When "make distclean" is invoked by the author, the "LICENSE" is removed.

       The appropriate license to determined from the meta provided with the "license" command
       and the holder of the license from the "author" command.

       Software::License is used to generate the "LICENSE" file.

COMMANDS

       This plugin adds the following Module::Install command:

       "auto_license"
           Does nothing on the user-side. On the author-side it will generate a "LICENSE" file
           according to the previously supplied "license" command. The "holder" of the license is
           determined from the "author" meta or may be specified using the "holder" parameter.

             auto_license( holder => 'Vestan Pants and Ivor Biggun' );

           It is important to note that the "auto_license" must follow "author" and "license"
           commands in the "Makefile.PL" ( as demonstrated in the SYNOPSIS above ), otherwise the
           meta these commands provide will be unavailable to "auto_license".  Call it a feature.
