Struts is listed showing the Apache 1.1 license which is incorrect. Struts is now released under the Apache 2 license.

Was left behind from the 1.1 ebuilds
Corrected in cvs

Comment 2 Niall Pemberton 2004-10-15 20:24:24 UTC

The thing is the web site is still showing Apache 1.1 - check out this link:

Thats probably because the site only checks one ebuild for the license and struts 1.1 has apache-1.1 license

i'll see if i can track someone down from the site

Same thing for bittorrent:
http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=net-p2p;name=bittorrent

Latest bittorrent version (4.0.0) has a new license, but previous versions have the MIT license.

Shouldn't the "Product" be changed to Web-www.gentoo.org?

License info is stored with the package, not with the actual ebuild.  This is
bad for packages where different versions have difference licenses.  In the 2.x
code this data is moved to the ebuild table.  Please wait for the 2.0 release to
see the change.
