Unclear licensing



Hi,

When upgrading the Debian package of Net-XMPP from 1.00 to 1.02, I 
noticed that the license was changed from "same as Perl" to "LGPL".

It is not clear which version of the GNU Lesser General Public License 
is meant. Yes, there is a LICENSE.LGPL file in the distribution, 
containing version 2 of the license, but it is not clear if the 
licensing terms are "version 2 exactly" or "either version 2 or any 
later version as published by FSF".

Please use the boilerplate after the end of the license (adapted to 
Net-XMPP) to avoid any uncertainities.

Additionally, META.yaml contains contradicting information:

    license: lgpl
    resources:
      license: |-
          http://opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license.php

Thanks,
