The ttmkfdir ebuild claims the license is AS-IS. The README in the tarball claims the license is LGPL. The .spec in the tarball claims the license is GPL. Anyone know what it really is?
Oh, and freshmeat shows it as MIT: http://freshmeat.net/projects/ttmkfdir
I downloaded the tarball from the original homepage in the ebuild's HOMEPAGE variable, and ttmkfdir.c (the only source file, at the time, with 1480 lines) has this: /* * Copyright 1998 The XFree86 Project * * Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a * copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), * to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation * the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, * and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the * Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: * * The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in * all copies or substantial portions of the Software. * * THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR * IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, * FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

Unfortunately that license seems to have been completely removed from the current tarball. You might like to file a bug with Red Hat's Bugzilla to clarify the situation. I know they're interested in getting licensing right (at least Tom Tromey is).
As a further bit of confusion, it is possible to take MIT-licensed things to GPL/LGPL. They may have chosen to do that, but it's unclear.
Package is getting treecleaned, see bug #293177 for more info. Thanks
