Description Alexander Berntsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-03-25 13:59:49 UTC
Couldn't identify anything on HOMEPAGE, so assume all-rights-reserved.
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-04-19 07:56:50 UTC
@Calchan: The tarball is hosted at your devspace and was packed by you, so can you comment on this? Is it derived from the tarball that can be found at <http://home.roadrunner.com/~nwmovies/nwmouse/>?

The tarball at roadrunner.com contains a file nwmouse.README.txt with a license notice identical to nwmovies, and the Artistic license in libdis/LICENSE.original. There are no such notices in the Gentoo hosted tarball, however. Also there is no source code for libdisasm.so which is against the terms of the Artistic license.
Comment 2 Denis Dupeyron (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-04-23 14:35:52 UTC
After talking with Ulrich, I'll add the README file and the source code to the tarball.

Thanks,
Denis.
Comment 3 Denis Dupeyron (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-04-23 14:47:06 UTC
Note to self.

More discussion lead to only adding the README file and pointing to the original source in einfo or similar.

Also, change the license to LICENSE="nwmovies Artistic".

Also mirror restriction can be dropped then.
Comment 5 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-05-25 11:23:18 UTC
LICENSE fixed, since this is the last package blocking removal of licenses/as-is.

Leaving this bug open for repacking of the tarball.
Comment 6 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2015-01-25 23:09:37 UTC
Ping. Any progress here?
Comment 7 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2017-11-14 08:14:21 UTC
The package has been removed. Closing.
