Description Théophile Helleboid 2006-06-23 00:40:48 UTC 
The package media-libs/libcaca has a wrong license in portage :
*  media-libs/libcaca
      Latest version available: 0.9-r2
      Latest version installed: 0.9-r2
      Size of files: 210 kB
      Homepage:      http://sam.zoy.org/projects/libcaca
      Description:   A library that creates colored ASCII-art graphics
      License:       LGPL-2.1
The Homepage says the license is "WTFPL" (Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License) and not LGP-2.1.
It's trivial, it's fun, but it's important ;)
Patch : (file /usr/portage/media-libs/libcaca/libcaca-0.9-r2.ebuild
11c11)
< LICENSE="LGPL-2.1"
---
> LICENSE="WTFPL"

Don't forget to add the WTFPL license in /usr/portage/licenses (the license is available at http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/
