Description Fabian Köster 2011-02-07 18:28:46 UTC

I am confused because the ebuild of dev-java/jtidy-0_pre20010801-r1 says it is licensed under Apache-1.1 but the LICENSE file from the source-archive is very different from the Apache-license file..

Am I missing something?

Reproducible: Always

Indeed, looks like LICENSE="HTML-Tidy W3C" would fit better.

Licenses team: Can HTML-Tidy be added to the MISC-FREE license group? It's very similar to ZLIB, which is approved by both FSF and OSI.

ulm: Looks like some BSD-alike license, should be fine, I'll add it.
