Let's follow other distros (e.g., Fedora) and call this license "libtiff". libtiff license committed and added to MISC-FREE group. + 11 Dec 2012; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> tiff-3.9.5-r3.ebuild, + tiff-4.0.2-r1.ebuild, tiff-4.0.3.ebuild, tiff-4.0.3-r1.ebuild: + Use libtiff as LICENSE instead of as-is wrt #445934 by Ulrich Müller thanks ulm, I don't know how you can motivate yourself for these license issues, but it is appericiated :) |
Created attachment 331406 [details] licenses/libtiff media-libs/tiff is released under a license close to MIT or HPND, but with some differences in wording. IMHO an own license file is justified here, also because the same license is used by other packages. @Licenses team: Text of the license is attached. This would be added to the MISC-FREE license group.
