Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2017-03-03 13:46:12 UTC
That license doesn't exist:

# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Purpose License v2
Comment 1 nvinson234 2017-03-03 20:54:06 UTC
Ebuild LICENSE variable is set to GPL-2

Package license is stored in a file called COPYING.

Full license title is "GNU General Public License Version 2"

Confirmed that the license title matches GPL-2 full title as stated on gnu.org.

No obvious signs of copyright license violations found.  Closing bug.
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2017-03-03 21:27:46 UTC
The license of the upstream package may be fine (I haven't checked that though). The problem is the header of the openrc init file in files/connman.initd2 which says "GNU General *Purpose* License v2".

It originates from this commit:

commit 62d9533c8e0c349427dd3904898dd0247a8f7d4c
Author: Robert Piasek <dagger@gentoo.org>

    New ebuild for connman - intel's connection manager
    Package-Manager: portage-2.1.6.13/cvs/Linux x86_64

@Licenses team: Is it obvious enough that it is a typo, so that we can change it to "GNU General Public License v2"?
