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.

Yann E. MORIN.
