The ZoneMinder Perl modules carried a GPL-2-or-later notice in their file
header but ended with an h2xs-scaffolding POD footer stating the code could
be used "under the same terms as Perl itself" (Artistic-1.0-or-GPL-1+). The
two statements contradict each other.
Every affected file has the same copyright holder in both the header and the
footer, and was contributed to ZoneMinder under the GPL-2+ header; the
Perl-terms line is inherited boilerplate that was never the intended license.
The project as a whole is GPL-2+ (see COPYING).
Replace the contradictory POD paragraph with a one-line pointer to the GPL so
each file states a single, consistent license without duplicating the full
notice already present in the header. Copyright and author attribution lines
are left unchanged.
Affects 60 .pm and .pm.in files under scripts/ZoneMinder/lib/ZoneMinder.
