Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 17:15:57 UTC 
The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for app-admin/webmin has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/init.d.webmin has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
webmin-1.560-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
webmin-1.570-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
webmin-1.580.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"
webmin-1.590.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD"

There are two options here -- either LICENSE in the ebuilds should be appended with GPL-2 to cover the init script, or the init script should be relicensed so that it is covered by current LICENSE (this one is probably the preferred resolution).  See also bug 425702 .
Comment 1 PhobosK 2012-07-22 07:36:12 UTC 
My init script(and my ebuilds) should be covered by GPL-2,so please go ahead and append GPL-2 to all my ebuilds. 
Alternatively I will add the GPL-2 to LICENSE when the next webmin version is out.

Thanks

@Markos, 
shouldn't it be:
LICENSE="BSD GPL-2"

instead of:
LICENSE="|| ( BSD GPL-2 )"

??

Oh yeah right. Fixed now
