Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for net-ftp/pure-ftpd has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/pure-ftpd.rc10 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
pure-ftpd-1.0.29-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"

files/pure-ftpd.rc11 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
pure-ftpd-1.0.32-r2.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
pure-ftpd-1.0.35.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
pure-ftpd-1.0.36.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"

There are two options here -- either LICENSE in the ebuilds should be appended with GPL-2 to cover the init script, or the init script should be relicensed so that it is covered by current LICENSE (this one is probably the preferred resolution).  See also bug 425702 .
