Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

The ebuild currently has LICENSE="as-is" which most likely is wrong.

There is no license included in the tarball. Also I cannot find any info about distribution terms on the package's HOMEPAGE.

Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

There's this comment in the ebuild:
# Email sent to author on 2012-01-18 querying about license

@vapier: Was there any reply?

i did at one point, but it was more of a "i'll fix it" response rather than "the license is XXX".  that was the last i heard.

If we don't get anything better from upstream, I suggest LICENSE="all-rights-reserved" plus mirror restriction.

I've asked upstream again.

No reply. We must assume all-rights-reserved then.
