The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for dev-lang/erlang has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s): files/epmd.init has license line: # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 ... and is used by the following ebuilds: erlang-14.2.4.ebuild:LICENSE="ErlPL-1.1" erlang-15.2.1.ebuild:LICENSE="ErlPL-1.1" erlang-15.2.ebuild:LICENSE="ErlPL-1.1" 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 .
Relicensed empd.init to ErlPL-1.1.
Reopening. Erlang has been relicensed to Apache-2.0, so again the LICENSE doesn't cover the init script which says ErlPL-1.1. Also, by GLEP 76, files in the tree should be under a GPL compatible license, and ErlPL-1.1 isn't. I think the simplest solution would be to change the init script to Apache-2.0, i.e., follow upstream. @nerdboy: I see that most lines in epmd.init are from you, so can you please acknowlegde the relicensing?
That sounds fine to me; I have crappy/limited access for the next week or two so feel free to make that change (thx).
