hal is dual licensed Academic-2 and gpl-2 /usr/portage/licenses/Academic is Academic Free License v 1.2 http://www.opensource.org/licenses/academic.php this is a request to add the Academic Free Licenses v 2.0 eg. as /usr/portage/licenses/Academic-2 http://www.opensource.org/licenses/afl-2.0.php
sorry, what package needs this again? We generally only add new licenses to portage when adding a package to portage that needs it so clairification is necessary. Thanks.
hal is licensed academic 2 http://www.freedesktop.org/software/hal i have an ebuild laying around, but it doesn't build cleanly yet. i might be able to commit it in the next couple days...
The license can be attached as text/plain along with the ebuild when/if you submit it. It's the responsibility of the developer who adds the ebuild to portage to also add the license so it would be done at that time. I'm going to mark this bug as INVALID since I want it to be handled as I've described here, not because the license is invalid or anything like that. Thanks.
