The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for app-misc/dnetc has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/dnetc.initd has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
dnetc-2.9011.496-r1.ebuild:LICENSE="distributed.net"
dnetc-2.9015.504.ebuild:LICENSE="distributed.net"
dnetc-2.9103.509.ebuild:LICENSE="distributed.net"
dnetc-2.9107.516.ebuild:LICENSE="distributed.net"
dnetc-2.9108.517.ebuild:LICENSE="distributed.net"
dnetc-2.9109.518.ebuild:LICENSE="distributed.net"

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 .
