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.

 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.
