Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 17:31:00 UTC
The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for sys-process/daemontools has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/svscan.init-1.02 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
daemontools-encore-1.05.ebuild:LICENSE="MIT"

files/svscan.init has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
daemontools-0.76-r7.ebuild:LICENSE="public-domain"
daemontools-0.76-r7.ebuild:LICENSE="public-domain"

files/svscan.init-0.76-r7 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
daemontools-0.76-r7.ebuild:LICENSE="public-domain"

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 .
