Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 17:20:17 UTC 
The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for net-analyzer/sguil-sensor has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/log_packets.initd has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
sguil-sensor-0.6.1.ebuild:LICENSE="QPL"
sguil-sensor-0.8.0.ebuild:LICENSE="QPL"

files/sensor_agent.initd has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
sguil-sensor-0.6.1.ebuild:LICENSE="QPL"
sguil-sensor-0.8.0.ebuild:LICENSE="QPL"

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 .

+  21 Nov 2012; Jeroen Roovers <jer@gentoo.org> sguil-sensor-0.8.0.ebuild,
+  files/log_packets.confd:
+  Add copyright info to conf.d script. Add GPL-2 to LICENSE (bug #425996).
