Description Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-07-11 17:26:12 UTC
The init script(s) provided in FILESDIR for sys-apps/pcsc-lite has a license of GPL-2 but GPL-2 isn't within the LICENSE variable of the ebuild(s):

files/pcscd-init.3 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
pcsc-lite-1.6.6-r2.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is"

files/pcscd-init.5 has license line:
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... and is used by the following ebuilds:
pcsc-lite-1.8.2.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is"
pcsc-lite-1.8.3.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is"
pcsc-lite-1.8.4.ebuild:LICENSE="as-is"

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 .

Solved in 1.8.8 and later.
