Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-12-09 16:02:30 UTC
The LICENSE file in parmetis-4.0.3.tar.gz says:

    The ParMETIS package is copyrighted by the Regents of the 
    University of Minnesota. It can be freely used for educational and 
    research purposes by non-profit institutions and US government 
    agencies only. Other organizations are allowed to use ParMETIS 
    only for evaluation purposes, and any further uses will require prior 
    approval. The software may not be sold or redistributed without prior 
    approval. One may make copies of the software for their use provided 
    that the copies, are not sold or distributed, are used under the same 
    terms and conditions.

In particular, this doesn't grant the right to redistribute the package.

I suggest changing LICENSE to "all-rights-reserved", and adding mirror and bindist restrictions.
