Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 17:25:18 UTC 
The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for net-proxy/nylon has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/nylon.init has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
nylon-1.21.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 .
Comment 1 Pavlos Ratis (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2013-03-04 16:11:17 UTC 
Added GPL-2 to LICENSE in both nylon-1.21.ebuild and nylon-1.21-r1.ebuild.
