DESCRIPTION="A free research management tool for desktop and web" as far I could investigate the software it has nothing to do with free software. DESCRIPTION="A propriety research management tool for desktop and web" I could not see the source code in the tar ball. (perhaps did not find the right one?) If there is no source, should we rename the ebuild to bin? Reproducible: Always
From the mendeley website [1]: "Mendeley is a free reference manager and academic social network. Make your own fully-searchable library in seconds, cite as you write, and read and annotate your PDFs on any device." Mendeley isn't opensource, but it is free to use. I don't see a need to rename the ebuild to mendeleydekstop-bin. For example, also nvidia-cuda-toolkit contains static libs for which the source code isn't public available (proprietary closed source). [1] https://www.mendeley.com/
One more addition. It is quite clear that mendeleydesktop isn't that free as a user has to accept the Mendeley-terms (was Mendeley-EULA before) via /etc/portage/package.license
