Bug#764756: libsoftware-license-perl: Artistic-1.0 "aggregation clause" error

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libsoftware-license-perl
Version: 0.103010-3
Tags: upstream

Software::License::Artistic_1_0 has an option to include or leave
out the 'sometimes-omitted "aggregation clause"', which is claimed
to read

  8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
  promote products derived from this software without specific prior
  written permission.

However, according to spdx.org [1], there's a sometimes-included 
clause 8 that reads

  8.Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
  permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
  when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
  to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be
  construed as a distribution of this Package.

Given the reference to "aggregation" in the clause name in the
Software::License::Artistic_1_0 documentation, it seems probable that
the spdx.org information is correct and that leaving out the "endorsing"
clause as above is actually a bug.
