Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2010-01-16 17:23:48 UTC 
x11-wm/afterstep should be changed to LICENSE="MIT" and licenses/AFTERSTEP be removed. Thanks in advance.

Actually, doc/licenses/COPYING contradicts the root COPYING:
*All the stuff* is GNU GPLed version 2 except :

- afterstep which is currently "multilicensed" (see every source file for
  individual copyrights) : GPL for all but src/afterstep.c src/borders.c
  src/clientwin.c src/functions.c

AfterStep v2.0 will include major rewrites so even these 5 exceptions
will be covered by GNU GPL v2 !

I've checked a few source files, they refer to GPL-2. I'll check the rest and update the LICENSE accordingly

I've update LICENSE field in current afterstep ebuilds, and licenses/AFTERSTEP is gone :)
