dev-python/cjkcodecs ebuild refers to the wrong license

The ebuilds state LGPL-2.1, which is just wrong. It's a BSD style license (without advertising clause). Perhaps a new license needs to be added for fixing this issue.

Reproducible: Always

You're right. It's much more a BSD-like license than LGPL. I don't see the need for another license. Changed to BSD.

Commited on CVS. Thanks for the feedback.
