Description Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-28 08:34:51 UTC 
In the section, "Contents of an Ebuild File", I would like to see the LICENSE field
changed to include the following:

1. Remove GPL because that is not a valid license name in portage. It should be
GPL-2 or GPL-1.
2. Replace GPL2 with GPL-2.
3. It would be good if something to the effect of "The license must exist in 
${PORTDIR}/license. If it does not exist, then you must add the new license type."

Thanks!
