Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

The ebuild currently has LICENSE="as-is" which most likely is wrong.

- No license is included in the package's tarball.
- HOMEPAGE appears to be dead.

Can you please ask upstream for clarification under with terms this package can be distributed?

Mail to upstream sent, but it bounced:

... while talking to www.vdrportal.de.:
>>> DATA
<<< 554 5.7.1 <Wicky@www.vdrportal.de>: Relay access denied
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable
<<< 554 5.5.1 Error: no valid recipients

I don't know, if Wicky is still active in the VDR community,
didn't heard alot of time anything from him....

so, added

RESTRICT="mirror bindist"
LICENSE="all-rights-reserved"

to the ebuild,
this should it fixed for now...
