I agree.  We want people to understand why the perl license is what it is,
and how it is ok for them to use it.

While lawyers tend to go right for the legal "heart of the matter",
friendly, non-legally binding statements accompanying licenses stating
intent can certainly go a long way in making people feel comfortable with
the licensing scheme.  Lawyers are people too, after all.  ;)
