Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-12-11 16:20:20 UTC
The ebuild says LICENSE="freedist", but the README files has this:

   If you want to hack the code into something else for your own
   amusement, please go ahead.  Feel free to modify and redistribute, as
   long as you retain the original copyrights as appropriate.

This sounds like a free software license to me.
