Hello, I was surprised about the mirror restriction pymol ebuild has. I then checked for its license: https://github.com/schrodinger/pymol-open-source/blob/master/LICENSE From there, I am not sure about why we need to restrict it. For making it worse, I saw that Fedora and Debian (that package and distribute it without restrictions) and applying different licenses to it :/ https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pymol/blob/rawhide/f/pymol.spec#_6 https://salsa.debian.org/debichem-team/pymol/-/blob/master/debian/copyright I would really appreciate if Licenses team could help us to get the proper license on this and confirm if we need to keep restricting its mirroring or not Thanks a lot for your help

Neither of the above would require mirror restriction.
