Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-08 16:10:45 UTC
See COPYING file in tarball. This contains a list of terms I to IV, as follows:

I. BSD-4 (only with different copyright holder)
II. ZLIB
III. "... placed into the Public Domain, do with it what you will."
IV. concerns the files sha1.{cc,h} only: "The Bitzi Corporation places its
    portion of these labelled works into the public domain, disclaiming all
    rights granted us by copyright law" (plus some verbose fluff)

In summary, LICENSE="BSD-4 ZLIB public-domain" should be fine.
