Artistic License 2.0 -> copyright file



hi,

i'm packaging r-cran-bms which is released under the Artistic-2.0
license, but i'm never quite sure what to put in the copyright file. for
GPL2, GPL2+, etc. i just go and find an existing package, and pillage
it's copyright file, i.e.:

===========

but this is not the same as the content of the license itself. this is a
statement that the file is licensed under GPL2. i'm looking for the
equivalent 'blurb' if you like, for the Artistic license 2.0, but
whenever i google it, i just get the license itself.

any tips on how i track down/create the appropriate blurb?

with thanks

jonathon

How happy is he born and taught,
That serveth not another's will;
Whose armour is his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill

This man is freed from servile bands
Of hope to rise, or fear to fall:
Lord of himself, though not of lands,
And, having nothing, yet hath all.
