Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 17:21:06 UTC 
The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for net-dns/maradns has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/deadwood has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
maradns-2.0.06.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD-2"

files/maradns2 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
maradns-2.0.06.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD-2"

files/maradns.rc6 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
maradns-1.4.09.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD-2"
maradns-1.4.11.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD-2"
maradns-1.4.12.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD-2"

files/zoneserver2 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
maradns-2.0.06.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD-2"

files/zoneserver.rc6 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
maradns-1.4.09.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD-2"
maradns-1.4.11.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD-2"
maradns-1.4.12.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD-2"

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 .

    net-dns/maradns: new revision to fix minor QA issues.

    The main reason for a new revision is to add "GPL-2" to the LICENSE
    per bug 426018. But with a revision, it made sense to update to
    EAPI=6, and perform the resulting cleanup in the ebuild. The
    src_prepare function was eliminated, and some dohtml calls were
    changed to dodoc. A missing die() was added, and the examples were
    moved behind USE=examples.

    Gentoo-Bug: 426018

    Package-Manager: portage-2.2.28
