Hi, Terry,
Good point!

As I understand it, submitting code to CPAN is de facto making it
available to the Perl community for re-use. We could certainly
(with appropriate legal help and language) make such a release
a prerequisite for any code submitted to UHURU.
And, of course, anyone who wants to write code that they keep
private and proprietary has a perfect right to do so; they just
can't submit that code to an open library! (You can't have your
cake and give it away, too!)
