Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

Please consider changing these packages to something other than "as-is", because as-is will sooner or later be removed from the @FREE license group.

The small files installed are hardly copyrightable, so I guess "public-domain" is a reasonable choice. But "GPL-2" would also be fine (because the code is hosted in the portage tree).
