itstool has LICENSE="freedist", according to the source package it's GPL-3.
(In reply to comment #0) > itstool has LICENSE="freedist" No, it has LICENSE="GPL-3 freedist", meaning that the package contains a mixture of files, some of which licensed as GPL-3, and others as freedist. However, I must thank you for drawing attention to this, because after re-reading the package's COPYING file, it appears that "freedist" part is indeed wrong. Here is the relevant quote from COPYING: > This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify > it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by > the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or > (at your option) any later version. > > As a special exception, the copyright holders give you permission to > copy, modify, and distribute the ITS definitions bundled with this > program under the terms of your choosing, without restriction. At the time when I added the package, I was under the mistaken impression that "copy, modify, and distribute without restriction" is, in terms of Gentoo's licenses/ directory, referred to as "freedist". However, in fact, "freedist" means "*distribute* with no restriction"; it grants no right to modify (and is therefore not in the FREE-SOFTWARE license group). I have therefore changed the LICENSE string to the more appropriate "GPL-3 as-is".
