The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for net-proxy/dante has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s): files/dante-sockd-init has license line: # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 ... and is used by the following ebuilds: dante-1.1.19-r4.ebuild:LICENSE="BSD" dante-1.3.2.ebuild:LICENSE="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 .
Do I have the right to relicense this, especially when I didn't write this?
Nope, youd need to get permission from the original author(s). It'd probably be easier to add the GPL2 license to LICENSE=
