Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 17:16:06 UTC
The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for app-backup/tsm has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/dsmcad.init.d has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
tsm-6.2.2.0-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is Apache-1.1 JDOM gSOAP"
tsm-6.3.0.0-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is Apache-1.1 JDOM gSOAP"
tsm-6.3.0.5-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is Apache-1.1 JDOM gSOAP"

files/dsmc.init.d has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
tsm-6.2.2.0-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is Apache-1.1 JDOM gSOAP"
tsm-6.3.0.0-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is Apache-1.1 JDOM gSOAP"
tsm-6.3.0.5-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is Apache-1.1 JDOM gSOAP"

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 .
Comment 1 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 20:44:26 UTC
Please go ahead to append GPL-2 to all ebuilds

Thanks

Also, feel free to do the same for all affected packages assigned to maintainer-needed. Thanks a lot
