Description:   Opened: 2007-03-10 20:24 0000
I've been contacted by upstream (Xiph) regarding the "Xiph BSD license", which
is in reality just a cosmetic variation of the "BSD" license.

Here's my final email to upstream regarding the matter:

"Since the "Xiph BSD" license as we have it[1] is simply filling in the
placeholders on the BSD license[2], I'm going to change all the ebuilds using
"xiph" to "BSD", as was originally suggested.

We're not going to keep different BSD-variant licenses when the only thing that
is different is the copyright owner.

If Xiph does have a derivative license that varies in more than cosmetics, then
yes, we'll put that in the tree and change the licenses.
