Perl. That makes this discussion off-topic.
Atleast mostly off-topic. The state of Free Software legally and politically
is interesting to people involved in the gospel and development of Perl.
Like any good off-topic discussion, it is being kept short. We've had some
bad off-topic dicussions on here (programming licensing went on and on).
Now, there is a chance you meant to imply you wanted to see less off-topic
discussion and you weren't merely asking if this was considered on-topic.
If that is the case, I don't think anyone will be offended if you come
right out and say that.
Best wishes,
-scott
