Hi, from dbus ebuild: LICENSE="Academic" from /usr/portage/licenses/Academic: Academic Free License Version 1.2 from dbus-0.21.tar.gz/bus/activation.c /* -*- mode: C; c-file-style: "gnu" -*- */ /* activation.c Activation of services * * Copyright (C) 2003 CodeFactory AB * Copyright (C) 2003 Red Hat, Inc. * Copyright (C) 2004 Imendio HB * * Licensed under the Academic Free License version 2.0 * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

googleing a little around i found http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/dbus/2003-September/000446.html which states the switch to academic v.2
dbus-0.22 is just out. According to the webpage its license is now AFL 2.1 (http://dbus.freedesktop.org/).
Added AFL-2.1 license for dbus-0.22, removed older versions of dbus. We should probably ditch the older academic license if it's not used anymore.
