Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-05-18 11:41:34 UTC
LICENSE says GPL-2, but the some of the included firmware is distributed under more restrictive terms (see WHENCE file in the linux-firmware package).

So, the ebuild should be updated as follows:

LICENSE="GPL-2 freedist
    alsa_cards_korg1212? ( all-rights-reserved )
    alsa_cards_maestro3? ( all-rights-reserved )
    alsa-cards-sb16? ( all-rights-reserved )
    alsa-cards-ymfpci? ( all-rights-reserved )"

Also, bindist restriction will be needed, with the same four conditions.
