Volcano removed - was a bad typo ages ago (should of been Volano - app-benchmarks/volanomark)
removed clean and hdf. hdf is now NCSA-HDF, was apparently renamed during sci-libs/hdf[5] cleanup. Not sure why stale license was not removed then. However there are no references to it atm. clean I was able to track back to dev-lang/clean, which apparently has long vanished. I could not find any traces in cvs or on bugzilla re its removal, so I am not sure why the license was left in place here as well. I suspect an old (2002) package.mask entry may shed some light on at least when that happened. So, it's been out of the tree likely for years. Should be safe removing the license here as well..

The nl-aspell package includes the GPL COPYRIGHT file but no explicit copyright notice. Since he was using autoconf this could have been added automatically. One of the main word lists he used had the following copyright notice: Copyright (C) 1996: Dutch word lists (woorden) and Dutch hyphenation patterns (patronen) Nederlandstalige TeX Gebruikersgroep, Postbus 394, 1740 AJ Schagen, The Netherlands.

Copying is only allowed if the package is distributed complete and unchanged. We plan to update the package on a regular basis. Bug reports and bugfixes are welcomed. --Piet seems to be the info on aspell-nl -- any suggestions? (it's obviously not freedist then)
