Yup, back in 2005.
However, using the LICENSE parameter will cause the build to break on
any system with EU::MM < 6.30 installed. (Granted, they should upgrade
- but I'd rather avoid unnecessary breakage).
Perhaps checking for the version of EU::MM available and only passing
the LICENSE param if it's > 6.30 would be appropriate; after all, the
LICENSE param only matters when doing a "make dist" anyway.
