The wording of lldpd is identical with the ISC license, <http://opensource.org/licenses/isc-license.txt>.

I suggest that licenses/lldpd should be removed and ebuilds should be changed to ISC.

Apart for one small difference:

 Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software [ISC]
vs.
Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software [lldpd]

...and the obvious "Internet Software Consortium" instead of "author".

I second that motion.

I've updated the wording of ISC from the OSI page, so that it has the more general "author" now.

Fixed.
