    Allow generic GPL references for packages licensed under Perl terms
    
    Perl's license references GPL v1, which isn't in common-licenses, so
    allow packages licensed under the same terms as Perl to refer to the
    generic GPL license file for right now.  This may change later
    depending on the resolution of Policy Bug#436105.
