$ qlist -e mate-themes | grep COPYING /usr/share/themes/TraditionalOk/COPYING /usr/share/themes/TraditionalGreen/COPYING /usr/share/themes/Menta/COPYING /usr/share/themes/BlueMenta/COPYING /usr/share/themes/BlackMATE/COPYING /usr/share/themes/GreenLaguna/COPYING We already have a copy of GPL-3 in licenses/ so these shouldn't be installed. The ebuild currently says LICENSE="LGPL-2.1" so presumably that should be updated too.
According to https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-themes/blob/master/COPYING, the package itself if LGPL-2.1. Individual themes have their own COPYING files which are installed by the build system. Would you like me to manually remove those and add their aggregated licenses to LICENSE?

All the others are LGPL-2.1 Well, the policy reference is: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/src_install/index.html#easy-installs "Note: There is no need to dodoc COPYING! The license belongs to ${PORTDIR}/licenses. Sometimes though, you might want to install COPYING regardless, if it explains how different licenses are applied to different parts of the application, for example." I still think that the last sentence doesn't apply here, but it is debatable. So, maintainer's decision. :) However, GPL-3 should be added to LICENSE in any case.
