This issue has been open for 10 years (!), long before I ever got involved with the ebuild. Please find somebody else but me (i.e. somebody knowledgeable about the legal side of things) to deal with this.

The instructions seem pretty clear in the last paragraph but in any case, reassigning to proxy-maint is a deadend and not keeping yourself in CC is very odd. (In reply to Sam James from comment #2) > The instructions seem pretty clear in the last paragraph Good for you. To me, they are not clear. > reassigning to proxy-maint is a deadend That's worrying to hear. > not keeping yourself in CC is very odd. I'll add myself in Cc to appease you, but please do not re-assign the issue to me. I simply don't have sufficient legal knowledge to deal with it. According to the homepage https://www.benzedrine.ch/milter-regex.html, milter-regex is BSD licensed, however that fits in Gentoo ebuild licensing. bug wranglers will just assign bugs based on the metadata.xml, which is what I'm doing right now Also I'm not sure what requires legal knowledge here, this is just about populating LICENSE for all files that are installed (LICENSE isn't only the "main" license for a package, will have multiple depending on what's used). See devmanual, may help: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/licenses/index.html proxy-maint is a project for proxying commits. It's not some generic thing to dump bugs on. The comment clearly says to just add GPL-2...? You don't need legal knowledge to see that the header of the init script says something and therefore LICENSE should include it. The devmanual covers LICENSE. It's your package and it's an easy fix?
