does not allow to change the source,
but this is required to get it running and to fix problems.

(At the moment we patch the source with sed, which is not allowed.)

We can not fix this, and probably not the other open bugs. 
I suggest to treeclean this package.

The tool is only in gentoo

Have tried to contact the author, maybe he would be willing to relicense it?

Comment 3 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2018-04-05 00:59:36 UTC
(In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #2)
> Have tried [...]

This should read "Have you tried [...]".
Comment 4 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2018-04-05 01:13:23 UTC
No, I have not.
Comment 5 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2018-04-11 13:07:05 UTC
Mail to upstream sent and a first reply was received (suggesting Apache-2.0).
Comment 6 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2018-04-15 17:44:13 UTC
Upstream has added an Apache-2.0 license to the distribution.
SRC_URI is now: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/slatex/slatex.tar.bz2

Not sure about the version number; version.tex still says 20090928, whereas the history file has 20180415 as its latest entry.
