Linking does not matter in this case because the original Artistic license,
which is the license for the source code in this package, is not accepted in
Fedora (by itself), no matter what it is linked to or not.

That's incorrect.  Or more specifically, it's a too broad statement - "GPL+ or
Artistic" is what we can use when upstream says "Licensed under the same license
as Perl itself", which is very common for CPAN stuff.  But in this case,
upstream specifically says "Perl Artistic License" (which is not the same thing
as "same License as Perl" which would be the "GPL+ or Artistic" case) and
doesn't mention GPL at all, we cannot go ahead and claim it's GPL or add GPL to it.
