The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for dev-db/hsqldb has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s): files/hsqldb has license line: # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 ... and is used by the following ebuilds: hsqldb-1.8.1.2-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD" hsqldb-1.8.1.3.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 .
Fixed in cvs. Thanks for the report. 13 Jul 2012; Ralph Sennhauser <sera@gentoo.org> hsqldb-1.8.1.2-r1.ebuild, hsqldb-1.8.1.3.ebuild: Add GPL-2 to licenses to cover the Gentoo initscript. #425920
