Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2021-05-12 11:23:58 UTC
Except for the "choice of law" clause, the text of QPL and QPL-1.0 is identical. The packages labelled as "QPL" have a choice of law clause, and they explicitly refer to QPL version 1.0. So looks like we can drop one of them. QPL was added more recently and is used by fewer ebuilds:

   dev-tex/hevea-2.35 (tex)
   mail-filter/spamprobe-1.4d-r1 (maintainer-needed)
   net-analyzer/barnyard-0.2.0-r6 (netmon)
   net-analyzer/sancp-1.6.1-r6 (netmon)
   net-analyzer/sguil-client-1.0.0 (netmon)
   net-analyzer/sguil-sensor-1.0.0-r1 (netmon)
   sci-physics/fastjet-3.0.6-r1 (sci-physics)

    licenses: QPL and QPL-1.0 are duplicates
    
    Drop QPL because it was added more recently. Also, QPL-1.0 is the name
    used in the SPDX list.
