Description:   Opened: 2005-07-01 10:43 0000 
mail-client/mailx ebuild specifies LICENSE="GPL-2" and HOMEPAGE="http://www.
debian.org". The package at debian seems to be http://packages.debian.org/
stable/mail/mailx as the versioning theme seems similar. Debian lists this mailx 
package as using the OpenBSD license. Is the use of the GPL-2 license a bug?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




There is also a mailx binary included in net-mail/mailutils that is the GNU 
mailutils which is GPL-2 licensed.

------- Comment #1 From Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) 2005-07-01 12:46:22 0000 ------- 
The mailx license (I have looked at one in header of its main.c, since I didn't
find any license text file in the dist tarball) is almost identical to our
${PORTDIR}/licenses/BSD, except for being copyrighted to "Regents of University
of California", usage of "University" instead of generic "<ORGANIZATION>, and
usage of "Regents" instead of "COPYRIGHT HOLDERS" in disclaimer.

Looks like it's pretty much a BSD license. I'll change the ebuilds accordingly.

Thanks for the heads-up, Albert.
