Description Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2008-10-07 15:49:28 UTC
This license is only used on the media-sound/gsm package, and it is straight from the COPYRIGHT file in the gsm sources.  It may very well be an OSI approved license, but I dont think it should actually be named OSI-Approved.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-10 17:46:35 UTC
+  10 May 2009; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> gsm-1.0.12-r1.ebuild:
+  Rename license from OSI-Approved to gsm wrt #240392

Done, and confirmed by grepping entire gentoo-x86 cvs tree that nothing else is using it.
