Not sure about the generic licenses (CC) but i think we should remove the others.

Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2015-02-13 16:38:57 UTC 
Confirmed by own script (which I run roughly once per month).

My approach so far was to keep everything that is widespread enough to have FSF or OSI approval. This is of course open for discussion:

   CC-BY-ND-2.5
   DSL
   ECL-2.0
   ODbL-1.0

These ones I have removed:

   intel-psb
   mongrel
   newton
   urbanterror-4.1-maps
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2015-02-18 20:58:03 UTC 
Closing. For the time being, FSF and OSI approved licenses will be kept even if they are currently not used by any package.
