We do not have explicit support between the versions 1 and 2 of the Artistic License. We can change "Artistic License" to "Artistic License v 1" and add "Artistic License v2". Doing so will require we contact the maintainers of the 48 projects that currently have the Artistic License and let them know of the change so they can select the appropriate one for their project.

Or we could simply change it to be "Artistic License v1" and ask owners to accept the migration or change to "Other/Open source" with "Artistic License v 1" specified in the license info field. Version 1 of the license seems to be pretty well superseded so only supporting v 2 makes sense.
