The ebuild states GPL-2, but readline-6 is distributed under GPL-3: ------- Readline is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3. This means that if you want to use Readline in a program that you release or distribute to anyone, the program must be free software and have a GPL-compatible license. If you would like advice on making your license GPL-compatible, contact licensing@gnu.org. ------- It looks like this might also have a possible impact on packages linking against it if these are licensed GPL-2 and do not have the 'or later' clause. Reproducible: Always
