Description:   Opened: 2004-12-16 12:15 0000 
The license is currently listed as X11 or GPL-2.
From what I read on the net, the license is liberal but vague.
The only thing that is certain is that copyright belongs 
to Mark Kilgard.

I noticed that you have added these licenses in 
/media-libs/glut/glut-3.7-r2.ebuild version 1.4.
Are you sure of these?

i think the confusion stems from the fact that this ebuild actually installs
Mesa3D-5.0, which is covered by a number of licences, including GPL, SGI, and
MESA[1].  the GLUT library is copyright Mark Kilgard is not free software[2]. 
the COPYING file that ends up getting installed into /usr/share/doc/glut-3.7 is
the license for Mesa and shouldn't be there.

the actual license can be viewed here:

Fixed the LICENSE variable. We're moving toward freeglut so I'm not going to
spend any more time on this.
