Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 17:21:52 UTC
The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for net-irc/irc-server has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/ircd.rc has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
irc-server-2.10.3_p3.ebuild:LICENSE="GPL-1"
irc-server-2.11.1_p1-r2.ebuild:LICENSE="GPL-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 .

    net-irc/irc-server: new revision to fix minor QA issues.

    This new revision fixes a few small issues:

      * The GPL-2 (for the init script) was missing from LICENSE.
      * Some die() statements were missing from system commands.
      * The src_prepare() was redundant.
      * The slot was missing from the ncurses dependency.
