Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2007-05-09 15:29:30 UTC 
Reading the license for pycrypto, this is not just "freedist", this sounds like "nearly publicdomain", "bsd-similar", probably as-is is the correct choice?
Comment 1 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2008-01-04 22:50:30 UTC 
ping? anybody feeling responsible?

If noone objects, I'll change to as-is.
Comment 2 Jesus Rivero (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-20 05:51:25 UTC 
Hello, 
  
   The source says it is public-domain. The sourceforge page says it is PYTHON CNRI License. I'd go for public-domain. I'll check with Python Team and change it afterwards, 

 Thanks,

I've sent an email¹ to the pycrypto mailing list asking about the licence.
Let's wait for their reply before changing anything.

There's an upstream bug¹ about the licence issue.

PyCrypto's new upstream has disambiguated the license for PyCrypto 2.1 (described in COPYRIGHT file).

LICENSE in dev-python/pycrypto-2.1.0_beta1 has been fixed.
