According to licenses/LIBGLASS, "Array Technology Corporation and MIPS (mips/lsi33k-stub.h)" is proprietary, and does not include any license for redistribution (or anything else). It explicitly states that use, duplication, or disclosure requires a "separate license agreement". RESTRICT=mirror
If accurate, this affects sys-libs/newlib as well. Also, the relevant license is LIBGLOSS, not LIBGLASS.
Woops, sorry typo.
mips/lsi33k-stub.h was removed from the libgloss source over 5 years ago. http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/libgloss/mips/Attic/lsi33k-stub.h?cvsroot=src&hideattic=0
Then the license file needs to be fixed, please...
(In reply to comment #4) > Then the license file needs to be fixed, please... Talk to upstream about that. The license explicitly names the file, so Gentoo is in the clear.
Found another issue... NEWLIB(Eric Backus) only grants license for use, not distribution. :/
(In reply to comment #6) > Found another issue... NEWLIB(Eric Backus) only grants license for use, not > distribution. :/ That language does seem a bit simple. IANAL, but I don't think it warrants a mirror restriction for 2 reasons: 1. There is no language specifically prohibiting distribution. The wording also seems to indicate that he doesn't really care what you do with the code. 2. I don't see Eric Backus' name in any of the affected files, so his code has probably been removed. This is a bit difficult to verify using CVS.
Your call... I'm not going to be using Chromium anymore due to other licenses that I consider non-free (but aren't relevant to mirroring), so I don't really care. :/
It is good to know that somebody actually reads these things. ;) Thanks for the report.
Re-opening, as there is no upstream bug report and this seems important. I'll take a closer look.
After taking a closer, careful look I don't believe the issues are real. Closing.
bensagal: why did you add the licenses team? It looks good to me.
