9base looks to me like Lucent Public License 1.02 which is OSI approved: https://opensource.org/licenses/lucent1.02.php And FSF thinks it's a free (but not GPL compatible) license: http://gplv3.fsf.org/wiki/index.php/Lucent_Public_License_version_1.02 (Unfortunately not SPDX-compatible-named which would be LPL-1.02.) So this should probably go into OSI_APPROVED and FSF_APPROVED. There also is PLAN9 which to me looks also like a variation of this, but not sure which license this exactly matches to.
Good catch, but what about the introductory section ("No right is granted to create derivative works of or to redistribute ...")? It is obviously non-free, but the question is if it applies to any of the packages under this license. If not, maybe we should delete it? (Then again, it may be cleaner to create a new file without that section.)

PLAN9 is only used for dev-libs/9libs, but I don't see that license in the package's tarball. It has a license similar to HPND in its README file.
