Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-12-09 15:22:19 UTC
LICENSE="free-noncomm" would indicate that the package can be redistributed. However, the ebuild is fetch restricted, and upstream requires registration before the distfiles can be downloaded.

I cannot do a further license audit because I don't have the distfiles (and I won't register). Please clarify what the exact license of the package is, and if it can be redistributed or not.

No reply from maintainers. CCing treecleaners.

# Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org> (2020-02-05)
# Last version bump in 2014, while upstream is at 2019/1.
# Ebuild claims "free-noncomm", but has an inaccessible distfile
# behind a registration wall. Unresponsive Gentoo maintainer.
# Masked for removal in 30 days. Bug #702352.
