Created attachment 330304 [details]
Binflash disclaimer

This is non-free (even fetch-restricted), therefore LICENSE="as-is" isn't right.

The disclaimer that appears before downloading is attached; probably it would be best to add this as license file.

I've CCd treecleaners to bug 395759 already a while back. It was stupid of me to put this in tree in the first place.

Consider this masked for lastrites now.

Nah, directly punted it afterall. As per,

12:06 < irker871> gentoo-x86: ssuominen app-cdr/binflash: Directly punt binflash without lastriting in 
                  purpose because this is binary-only fetch-restricted package where the ebuild is 
                  outdated, therefore non-working for everyone, just download the app directly from the 
                  site. Also license violations wrt bug 444414
