=head1 NAME

Dist::Zilla::Role::LicenseProvider - something that provides a license for the dist

=head1 VERSION

version 6.033

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Plugins implementing this role must provide a C<provide_license> method that
will be called when setting the dist's license.

If a LicenseProvider offers a license but one has already been set, an
exception will be raised.  If C<provides_license> returns undef, it will be
ignored.

=head1 PERL VERSION

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from
the Perl 5 Porters.  This means it should work on any version of perl
released in the last two to three years.  (That is, if the most recently
released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and
v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to
lower the minimum required perl.

=head1 REQUIRED METHODS

=head2 C<< provide_license({ copyright_holder => $holder, copyright_year => $year }) >>

Generate license object. Returned object should be an instance of
L<Software::License>.

Plugins are responsible for injecting C<$copyright_holder> and
C<$copyright_year> arguments into the license if these arguments are defined.
