Copyright: The upstream author is Joseph N. Hall, joseph@5sigma.com,
who has placed this software into the public domain:
License: public-domain
Comment: Version 1.001 adds the following statement:
The Sort::Fields module is licensed under the same terms as perl
itself, under the Artistic License 2.0.
.
which is not correct (Perl is licensed under Artistic or GPL-1+), and can't
override the original author's (non-)license.
.
1.002 changes the statement to
The Sort::Fields module is licensed under the Artistic License 2.0.
which still would incorrectly override the original terms.

I'm not interested in uploading a new version with a proper copyright
statement right now. Therefore considering the age of the code and so
on:
.
I hereby declare Sort::Fields to be in the public domain.
.
Hope that helps. Feel free to publish this statement where necessary.
