Description Mikko Oilinki 2007-01-03 03:02:36 UTC 
The README file in /usr/share/doc/libpng-1.2.14 mentions LICENSE file:
      
      LICENSE       =>  License to use and redistribute libpng

But this file is missing in the system. None of the ebuilds seem
to install this file. 

Below please find included a patch that fixed it for me, for the 
version that is currently most up-to-date and marked stable in x86
platform (for the other versions, the patch should be almost verbatim):

/usr/portage/licenses/as-is; we won't be duplicating this stuff across tons of places.
