Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2008-03-27 23:33:52 UTC 
boost has LICENSE="freedist Boost-1.0"

This would, correctly spoken, mean that one must agree to both licenses to use the software. I think just LICENSE="Boost-1.0" would be correct.
Comment 1 Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev 2009-10-03 18:07:27 UTC 
I second for LICENSE="Boost-1.0".
Comment 2 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-21 13:43:36 UTC 
That would make sense. I've fixed all the ebuilds currently in the tree:
