See README file. (It also says "Some plugins are GPL3." but I cannot find any file marked such.)

As discussed with Tommy[D] on IRC:

freenet.jar is the project code and seems to contain only things from the src/{freenet,net} subdirectories. Licenses found therein are:
  - GPL-2+, main license
  - GPL-2 (only), some files in src/freenet/crypt/ and src/freenet/support/
  - MIT (X11) for code taken from bouncycastle
  - BSD-2 (identical to "Cryptix license") for Cryptix code
  - src/net/i2p/util/NativeBigInteger.java was  "released into the public
    domain"

In addition, the ebuild installs a precompiled ant.jar; Apache-2.0 is needed for this.
