Description ganooslashlinus 2022-11-07 07:58:23 UTC

All ebuilds: LICENSE="GPL-2"

For versions 4.8.0-r3 & 4.9.0:
COPYING is a copy of the GPLv3
Every .c and .h file (except for terminfo/checktc.c and terminfo/tetris.c) notes:
...
 * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
 * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
 * the Free Software Foundation; either version 3, or (at your option)
 * any later version.
...

A number of scripts, checktc.c and tetris.c don't note the license, but that seems to be sloppiness rather than such files being proprietary.

Should be: LICENSE="GPL-3+"
