Description Henning Günther 2005-07-07 03:20:26 UTC
net-misc/jumpgate is said to have an "as-is" license, but
http://jumpgate.sourceforge.net/LICENSE is clearly a BSD license.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
License is shown as "as-is"-license

Expected Results:  
License should be "BSD"
Comment 1 Jon Portnoy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-10 16:01:37 UTC
The jumpgate license isn't quite the same as the BSD license; it lacks the
following clause:

    * Neither the name of the <ORGANIZATION> nor the names of its
    * contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from
    * this software without specific prior written permission.

"as-is" and "BSD" are close enough that the end result is essentially the same.
I'm not a lawyer, and I'm reluctant to call it BSD when it's really a subset of BSD.
