Description Robert Carboneau 2008-09-10 04:10:06 UTC 
The dev-cpp/cairomm ebuilds all say LICENSE="GPL-2". cairomm is actually under the LGPL-2 license.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read the ebuild, or use emerge --search

Actual Results:  
License listed as GPL-2

Expected Results:  
License listed as LGPL-2

Actually, the [URL] quotes:

"Cairo is free software and is available to be redistributed and/or modified 
 under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 
 2.1 or the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version 1.1 at your option.
Comment 2 Robert Carboneau 2008-09-10 06:34:28 UTC 
cairomm itself seems to be specifically LGPL. The website for cairomm is http://cairographics.org/cairomm/ ... so, I suppose the HOMEPAGE needs to be updated, as well.

Yes, you're right, if [1] is anything to go by.
