There is a subcomponent in the packages called Math-Calc-Units-1.07 that is under dual license GPL V2.0 or Artistic License V1.0. Giving the fact that the global license of monitoring-plugins-2.2. is GPL-3.0, I was wandering how come you included this subcomponent who's both licenses from the dual are incompatible with GPL-3.0. Is it ok to combine GPL V2.0/ Artistic License V1.0 with GPL-3.0? Can you give me more information regarding your decision?

Both are not required and or used by the monitoring-plugins, therefor i see no reason how this could be a issue somehow. We just pack the plugins and the perl module together in a single tarball for easier deployment. Cheers, ?Sven
