Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-02 15:58:39 UTC 
Version 2.5: GPL-2 (only?), see COPYING in tarball.
Version 2.8 and later: BSD (3-clause), see COPYING in tarball.
Comment 1 Anthony Basile gentoo-dev 2012-12-02 20:01:22 UTC 
Ulrich, thanks for noticing.  It is a bsd license but it seems to have more than BSD-2 and less than BSD-4.

I'm not sure?  Recommendations?  Should we add a BSD-3 to $PORTDIR/licenses?
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-02 20:57:06 UTC 
It's the so-called "modified BSD license" or "3-clause BSD license", and have it already in licenses/BSD.
