I'm wondering if the license for OSE ebuild is set correctly. "The Open Source Edition (OSE) is released under the GNU General Public License V2." Reproducible: Always

you are right, sorry for the noise.
Should not be virtualbox-ose-additions GPL licensed? Should not be virtual-guest-additions PUEL licensed? To me those two switched around: virtualbox-guest-additions uses OSE download and virtulabox-ose-additions does not use OSE download. Look: # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions/virtualbox-guest-additions-3.0.8.ebuild,v 1.1 2009/10/06 19:53:18 patrick Exp $ inherit eutils linux-mod MY_P=VirtualBox-${PV}-OSE DESCRIPTION="VirtualBox kernel modules and user-space tools for Linux guests" HOMEPAGE="http://www.virtualbox.org/" SRC_URI="http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/${PV}/${MY_P}.tar.bz2" LICENSE="GPL-2"
