  Description     : Use GNU licenses with "or later" clause in Software::License

Software::License::OrLaterPack allows one to use GNU licenses with
"or later" clause where Software::License style license names are
supported.

All "or later" are just subclasses of corresponding base license
classes. For example, Software::License::GPL_3::or_later is a
subclass of Software::License::GPL_3, so any "or later" license can
be used like any other license. For example, in your dist.ini file:

  license = GPL_3::or_later

However, licenses in the pack introduce few features not found in
base classes.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
