Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 17:16:20 UTC
The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for app-crypt/heimdal has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/heimdal-kadmind.initd-r1 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
heimdal-1.5.1-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
heimdal-1.5.2.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
heimdal-1.5.2-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"

files/heimdal-kcm.initd-r1 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
heimdal-1.5.1-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
heimdal-1.5.2.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
heimdal-1.5.2-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"

files/heimdal-kdc.initd-r1 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
heimdal-1.5.1-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
heimdal-1.5.2.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
heimdal-1.5.2-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"

files/heimdal-kpasswdd.initd-r1 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
heimdal-1.5.1-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
heimdal-1.5.2.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
heimdal-1.5.2-r1.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 .
