the file in question is not named CONTRIBUTED but CONTRIBUTING. If you 
look at the structure of pod files from other packages you uploaded, they 
look rather similar. So the file CONTRIBUTING seems to be derived work 
from CONTRIBUTING.pod and according to the CC-license of CONTRIBUTING.pod,
the file CONTRIBUTING must have the same one.

Yes, it is unknown because some tool he used to create the COPYRIGHT file 
did not recognize the paragraph at the end.
Anyway, if the license of this file is unknown, we would not have the 
permisson to distribute it. I would say that this is a worse solution.

Maybe you can get a statement from Toby about the files CONTRIBUTING and 
CONTRIBUTING.pod.
