The ebuilds for these packages state public domain, however the package actually seems to be licensed under a BSD-like license.

I suggest taking the COPYING file from lapack-lite tarball, adding it to portage as the "lapack-lite" license, and then updating LICENSE in these ebuilds.

Thanks much for the note, Daniel!
The licenses for blas/lapack from netlib.org are
verbatim BSD and I have now marked them as such.

cheers,
Markus
