Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for app-backup/boxbackup has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/bbackupd.rc has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
boxbackup-0.10.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
boxbackup-0.11.1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"

files/bbstored.rc has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
boxbackup-0.10.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
boxbackup-0.11.1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"

There are two options here -- either LICENSE in the ebuilds should be appended with GPL-2 to cover the init script, or the init script should be relicensed so that it is covered by current LICENSE (this one is probably the preferred resolution).  See also bug 425702 .

    app-backup/boxbackup: new revision to fix three QA issues.

    This new revision adds "GPL-2" to LICENSE to cover the init script. It
    also adds two patches, one to eliminate format-security warnings, and
    the other (provided by a user) to fix the manpage install path.
