Contacted upstream and Allen Day confirmed that perl-SVG-Graph is released under
the Artistic license (see e-mail below).  I will ask him to add the license to
the CPAN webpage and add it inside the tarball, and ask him to roll a new
tarball, if possible.

Hi Alex,

My oversight.  It's released under the Artistic License.
