Description Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-26 19:59:00 UTC 
the ebuild includes GPL-2 in the LICENSE but I can't see anywhere in the tarball where this is mentioned.

Josh?

  14 Jan 2006; Joshua Baergen <joshuabaergen@gentoo.org> xinit-1.0.1.ebuild:
  xinit uses the GPL-2 among its other licenses.

I'll try to track down why I made that change.

I suspect it's for the init scripts and such that we provide.

Yes, startDM.sh and chooser.sh seem to be GPL licensed.
