The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for net-dialup/diald has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s): files/diald-init has license line: # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 ... and is used by the following ebuilds: diald-1.0-r2.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is" 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).
