Description ganooslashlinus 2022-09-18 12:01:54 UTC
The wget ebuilds have LICENSE="GPL-3"
Sure it can be distributed under the GPLv3, but GNU wget is; GPLv3-or-later
wget --version:
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>.

net-misc/wget2 seems to have the same issue - that probably should be filed separately, but still: "GNU Wget2 is licensed under GPLv3+.", "Libwget is licensed under LGPLv3+."
