... and is used by the following ebuilds:
dhcp-4.2.1_p1.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is BSD"

files/dhcrelay.init3 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2

dhcp-4.2.3_p2.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is BSD"

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 .
