The ebuild states GPL-2, but there are a few other licenses at play, included in the upcoming attachment

So basically we need to reference the 4 clause BSD license as well as create a new Sun RPC license.

Sun RPC has been relicensed to BSD some time ago: <http://blogs.oracle.com/webmink/entry/old_code_and_old_licenses>
There's no more reference to sun-rpc in the versions of util-linux that are in the tree (i.e. >=2.17).

According to README.licensing in the tarball, the following should be correct:
LICENSE="GPL-2 GPL-3 LGPL-2.1 BSD-4 public-domain"

I'm going to fix this in a few days (assuming that the permission given in bug 299893 comment #3 is still valid).

Fixed.

"MIT" was missing too.
