Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

Ebuilds currently have LICENSE="as-is", but we want to get rid of the "as-is" label.

Normally I would say that the NOTICE file from the tarball should be added as license file, but it is rather large and contains duplications (it would be the largest license file so far). Furthermore, the NOTICE files that come with 1.9.4 and 1.10* differ from each other.

Since these are all BSD/MIT/HPND type Free Software licenses, I suggest that we specify the following instead, for mit-krb5-1.9.4:

   LICENSE="openafs-krb5-a BSD MIT OPENLDAP BSD-2 HPND BSD-4 ISC RSA"

mit-krb5-1.10* adds two more licenses:

   LICENSE="openafs-krb5-a BSD MIT OPENLDAP BSD-2 HPND BSD-4 ISC RSA CCPL-Attribution-ShareAlike-3.0 || ( BSD-2 GPL-2+ )"


@Licenses team: The above are only approximate, but I think that they would serve users better than requiring then to read some 1000+ lines of legalese.
