Hello,
I have a question about the pod documentation in the perl distribution.

With the documentation being under the standard perl Artistic/GPL
license, is the intention to allow the sale of printed copies?

According to FSF's GPL FAQ, it is possible to make printed copies of a
GPL manual provided it includes a written offer to provide source
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyNotGPLForManuals).

However, it seems like this could be open to interpretation since the
GPL and AL do not specifically mention making printed copies.
