So the watters are even muddier than what I expected. We can't take a
position here. The best we can state then is:
PERL_TERMREADKEY_LICENSE = TERM::Readkey license
Anything else could be misleading.
If a user has any concern with that license, they'd have to consult with
the legal department in their organisation.
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
