Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 17:18:40 UTC
The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for mail-filter/clamsmtp has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/clamsmtpd.init has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
clamsmtp-1.10.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"

There are two options here -- either LICENSE in the ebuilds should be appended with GPL-2 to cover the init script, or the init script should be relicensed so that it is covered by current LICENSE (this one is probably the preferred resolution).  See also bug 425702 .
Comment 1 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2016-06-22 17:40:40 UTC
are there any news about this ticket?
Comment 2 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2017-09-26 20:36:49 UTC
There was no response for +5 years. 
Version 1.10 from 2007-06-30 was the last release. 
Is this package still maintained?
