Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-11-03 22:19:21 UTC
No license is included in the zipball. The HOMEPAGE is dead and the saved version at archive.org doesn't say anything about terms for distribution.

It's not clear to me if we are even allowed to redistribute this.
But LICENSE="as=is" is definitely wrong.
