Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2012-07-11 17:18:55 UTC

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

files/opendkim.init.r2 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
opendkim-2.4.2.ebuild:LICENSE="Sendmail-Open-Source BSD"
opendkim-2.4.3.ebuild:LICENSE="Sendmail-Open-Source BSD"
opendkim-2.5.1.ebuild:LICENSE="Sendmail-Open-Source BSD"
opendkim-2.5.2.ebuild:LICENSE="Sendmail-Open-Source BSD"
opendkim-2.5.2-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="Sendmail-Open-Source BSD"
opendkim-2.6.0.ebuild:LICENSE="Sendmail-Open-Source BSD"
opendkim-2.6.1.ebuild:LICENSE="Sendmail-Open-Source 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 .

    mail-filter/opendkim: add GPL-2 to LICENSE for OpenRC service script.
    
    Our init script is a critical out-of-tree piece of code that gets
    installed, and it's licensed GPL-2. So, we should include that in the
    LICENSE variable for the package.
