Description Eike Hein 2007-04-04 15:59:00 UTC 
A couple of weeks ago I approached the KDE herd about fixing the license for kde-base/kolourpaint, which is actually BSD, not GPL-2. It was promptly fixed in the tree, yet to this day, packages.gentoo.org continues to list GPL-2. There's something out of sync there.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Albert Hopkins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-03 15:49:02 UTC 
This is likely because the license is changed within the same version of a package  which packages.gentoo.org ignores because, well, you're not supposed to do that.  Nevertheless it will likely fix itself with the next version bump of that package.
