This copyright was generated with cme dpkg. cme uses  
Software::LicenseMoreUtils and Software::License to get License text. 
Unfortunately, the latter requires a copyright holder even though only the 
license text is required in our case.

This X Ample is some boilerplate copyright holder used to satisfy  
Software::License requirement. This text is supposed to be removed manually 
until I figure a better algorithm for cme (or Software::LicenseMoreUtils)

That's a bug in licensecheck which does not detect the author of this file. I 
should have removed it manually. 

Unfortunately, I paid less attention to these details because I was using 
raku-log module as a real life case for dh-make-raku. I guess that my mind was 
more on dh-make-raku bugs than checking raku-log's copyright. 

I've manually fixed both issues with raku-log copyright and uploaded raku-log 
0.3.1-2. 

I'll also try to improve cme using these issues as test cases.

I'm sorry that reviewing raku-log took more time than it should have. 

All the best

Dod
