1) http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=slime states that the license of slime is 'GPL-2'. 2) http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/slime-2.0.tgz contains xref.lisp which states that ;;; No fees or compensation are charged for use, copies, or ;;; access to this software. You may charge a nominal ;;; distribution fee for the physical act of transferring a ;;; copy, but you may not charge for the program itself. Since 2) appears to not be compatible with GPL I suggest you either remove xref.lisp or change the description of slime's license in 1).
28 Apr 2007; Ulrich Mueller <ulm@gentoo.org> slime-2.0.0.20061118.ebuild: Added "as-is" to LICENSE wrt file xref.lisp, resolving bug #168616. Thank you for reporting the issue.
Hmm, http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=slime still says "GPL-2". Does it take some time for that page to update?

The page should be updated within a few hours, but possibly a revision bump (which makes no sense for an LICENSE change) is necessary to trigger it. You may report a bug for that (should be Product: "Website www.gentoo.org" and Component: "Packages", I believe). Please add me as CC if you do.

One prohibits you from selling and as-is itself doesn't, looks odd to me.
Indeed, I'll reopen this since either xref.lisp is not "as-is" or the definition of "as-is" should clearly mention that "no selling" is an possible restriction.
OK, I've looked at the headers of all files again. Most are GPL (1 or 2) or public-domain. Only exceptions: swank-openmcl.lisp: LLGPL-2.1 swank-corman.lisp: BSD xref.lisp: see above The as-is licence says: "You will need to check the license that came with the software for the exact specifics." which precisely covers the case that we have here. What I won't do: - remove xref.lisp - LICENSE="GPL-2 GPL-1 public-domain LLGPL-2.1 BSD xref.lisp"
I've added "xref.lisp" to LICENSE of slime-2.0_p20061118 and slime-2.0_p20070822. (slime-2.0.0.20061118.ebuild will be removed in a few days.)
