Tracker bug for the license cleanups. Here's a list of licenses that are identical to "MIT" and really are just polluting portage :

X11
fontconfig
libICE
libSM
libX11
libXScrnSaver
libXau
libXaw
libXcomposite
libXcursor
libXdamage
libXdmcp
libXext
libXfixes
libXft
libXi
libXinerama
libXmu
libXp
libXpm
libXrandr
libXrender
libXt
libXtst
libXv
libXvMC
libXxf86dga
libXxf86vm
libdrm

If a package uses one of these licenses, just use "MIT" instead.

Thanks

As far as I can see, all of the above have been removed.

Comment 2 David Watzke 2010-02-11 17:38:30 UTC

curl's got both X11 and MIT

Which we treat as identical.
