Comment 3 for bug 326308

In the interests of lessening the maintenance burden, would it be possible to keep "Artistic License" as meaning any version of the license (or as meaning v1), and then add "Artistic License v1" and "Artistic License v2" for package maintainers who want to specify the version?

Artistic License v1 is still used by Perl 5, and by most projects on CPAN, so I would recommend against supporting only v2.
