Description Julian Ospald 2013-01-01 21:27:30 UTC

http://www.freetype.org/license.html says that you can pick one of the mentioned licenses, so it should be

LICENSE="|| ( FTL GPL-2 )"

instead of

LICENSE="FTL GPL-2"

for all freetype ebuilds of SLOT 2 (or since version 1.5)

Right. LICENSE should be:
   "|| ( FTL GPL-1+ )" for freetype-1.4* (GPL without specific version, i.e.
   any version of the GPL can be used.
   "|| ( FTL GPL-2+ )" for freetype-2.4* (LICENSE.TXT says GPL v2 or later)
