The license on net-libs/libtirpc is set to GPL-2, which appears to be wrong. It was never GPL-2 and upstream switched to BSD when making it GPL-compatible. Upstream claims it is BSD: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libtirpc/ http://git.infradead.org/users/steved/libtirpc.git?a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=license It was supposed to be fixed 6 years ago for bug #271921, but it does not appear to be fixed as the ebuild reports it is GPL-2: # equery m libtirpc * net-libs/libtirpc [gentoo] Herd: net-fs (net-fs@gentoo.org) Maintainer: None specified Upstream: Remote-ID: libtirpc ID: sourceforge Homepage: http://libtirpc.sourceforge.net/ Location: /usr/portage/net-libs/libtirpc Keywords: 0.1.10:0: Keywords: 0.2.4-r1:0: Keywords: 0.2.4-r2:0: Keywords: 0.2.5:0: alpha amd64 arm arm64 hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86 Keywords: 0.3.1:0: ~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~arm64 ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 Keywords: 1.0.1:0/3: ~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~arm64 ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 License: GPL-2
i do not care about LICENSE fields. feel free to change the field in any ebuild as long as you include the justification in your commit message.
Checking the source files' headers, I see all of the following licenses there: BSD BSD-2 BSD-4 GPL-2+
Yep, it certainly seems that way. I was doing a search of libtirpc bugs so I would've come across this anyway, but I actually saw this a few hours ago: http://git.linux-nfs.org/?p=steved/libtirpc.git;a=commit;h=1afac573304d2dfe6e57999510bd14b9a5602e55.

(In reply to Larry the Git Cow from comment #6) LGPL-2.1+ for nislib.h, I suppose? (I wouldn't have added that one, but I guess one can come to different conclusions about it.)
