I misspoke. Perl has the Artistic License not the Poetic License

https://dev.perl.org/licenses/

"It is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the 
terms of either:

a) the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software 
Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) any later version, or

b) the "Artistic License".

For those of you that choose to use the GNU General Public License, my 
interpretation of the GNU General Public License is that no Perl script 
falls under the terms of the GPL unless you explicitly put said script 
under the terms of the GPL yourself."

Larry Wall


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License

The MIT No Attribution and BSD Zero Clause are essentially public domain 
like free software was distributed prior to Stallman. There is nothing in 
either to prevent you from calling it GPL like Wall said. The reverse is 
not true; software released under GPL can't become BSD Zero Clause.
