Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2019-09-19 07:48:53 UTC
The ARIADNE license file says:

===
The software package ARIADNE is distributed in the hope that it will be
useful, but in order that the University as a charitable foundation
protects its assets for the benefit of its educational and research
purposes, the University makes clear that no condition is made or to
be implied, nor is any warranty given or to be implied, as to the
accuracy of ARIADNE, or that it will be suitable for
any particular purpose or for use under any specific conditions, or that
the content or use of ARIADNE will not constitute
or result in infringement of third-party rights.  Furthermore, the
University disclaims all responsibility for the use which is made of
ARIADNE.
===

To be honest, this reads like a warranty disclaimer without any actual license grant.  If there's no other license, I'd say all-rights-reserved is implied.

That said, upstream seems to be gone, so if we restrict it, it can't be installed anymore.  Not sure if it's actually useful for anyone though, it looks ancient.
