Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

2019-12-10 16:29:46 UTC

The ebuild says LICENSE="freedist".

File headers have this:

 * Copyright (c) 2014 by David I. Bell
 * Permission is granted to use, distribute, or modify this source,
 * provided that this copyright notice remains intact.

Do we consider this a free license? The language is similar to that of ISC:

| Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any
| purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above
| copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.

Debian also has this package in "free":
