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

files/dhcrelay.init2 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
dhcp-4.2.1_p1.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is BSD"
dhcp-4.2.2.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is BSD"
dhcp-4.2.2-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is BSD"

dhcp-4.2.2-r3.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is BSD"
dhcp-4.2.3_p1.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is BSD"

files/dhcrelay.init3 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
dhcp-4.2.3_p2.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is 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 .
