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

files/nxserver-2.1.0-init has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
nxserver-freeedition-3.5.0.11.ebuild:LICENSE="nomachine"
nxserver-freeedition-3.5.0.5.ebuild:LICENSE="nomachine"
nxserver-freeedition-3.5.0.9.ebuild:LICENSE="nomachine"

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 .

GPL-2 added to LICENSE
