Legal
The Perl Foundation is a legally registered DBA (Doing Business As) name of Yet Another Society. The foundation incorporated as Yet Another Society, so that's the name you'll see in the earlier documents. These days we mainly use the name The Perl Foundation, because it does a better job of explaining what we do.
