Description Andrew John Hughes 2009-05-06 22:35:23 UTC
The glew 1.5.1 ebuild specifies:

LICENSE="BSD GLX SGI-B GPL-2"

This (which includes the non-free GLX and SGI-B 1.0 licenses) is incorrect.  According to http://glew.sourceforge.net/log.html it changed to BSD, Mesa-3D and Khronos with 1.5.0 (the latter two are MIT variants).  See http://glew.sourceforge.net/credits.html.  So LICENSE should be:

LICENSE="BSD MIT"

for 1.5.1.

Reproducible: Always
