Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-01-07 04:12:49 UTC
dev-python/reedsolomon is now distributed as || ( Unlicense MIT-0 ).  We don't seem to have the latter (unless it's hidden in one of the dozen MIT dupes).

FWICS it's MIT without the third paragraph, i.e. without:

> The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be
> included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Should we add it separately or...?

Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2023-01-07 08:18:07 UTC
Another example of unnecessary license proliferation.

Added (since SPDX lists it).
