Fixed, as outlined above.

Created attachment 338192 [details] URT license The ebuild is currently labelled "as-is" which isn't accurate. The main license of the package is attached. I suggest to call it "URT". @Licenses team: This looks like a free software license, so it can be added to the MISC-FREE group. However, there are some files that have more restrictive (non-free) license terms: 1. cnv/giftorle.c has an additional notice: You may copy this file in whole or in part as long as you don't try to make money off it, or pretend that you wrote it. "free-noncomm" should be a good enough approximation for this. The program is only installed with USE="gif". 2. rletoabA62 is distributed under the "RIACS Software Policy", see cnv/rletoabA62/COPYRIGHT. It contains the following clause (last paragraph of section 1) which makes it non-free: + You are not allowed to charge for the licensing of any RIACS software you may redistribute, nor are you allowed to charge more than a nominal fee for making the redistribution. 3. get/gettaac.c and man/man1/gettaac.1 are copyright Southwest Research Institute under terms that don't allow modification (see headers in files). The build system doesn't install the gettaac program though, but it installs the man page. My suggestions would be: - Change LICENSE to "URT gif? ( free-noncomm )" - Remove rletoabA62 from installation. If anyone still cares about the Abekas A62 format (a video storage disk produced in the early 1980s), he can file a bug and we can reconsider. - Remove gettaac.1 from installation. BTW, there are other man pages installed without their program, which doesn't make much sense.
