Description ganooslashlinus 2022-05-04 11:01:46 UTC

The licenses reported in the ebuilds are; GPL-2 LGPL-2

In the source of 12.1, there are a few files under the LGPLv2.1-or-later or GPLv2-or-later, but as a whole, gdb is GPLv3-or-later.

GNU gdb (Gentoo 11.1 vanilla) 11.1

Do you need any more information?

Should I submit a ebuild patch with the correct LICENSE="..."?
