Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-03 07:30:42 UTC
Ebuilds are currently marked "as-is" which most likely is wrong:

- The LICENSE file says: See license for pcsc-lite on http://www.linuxnet.com
  (i.e. the 3-clause BSD license.)
- ifdhandler.{c,h} and ctbcs.h are licensed under LGPL-2+.
- lib/libctapi.a doesn't seem to have a license at all, and there are no
  sources included. Are we allowed to distribute this file?
- include/ctapi.h says:
     This software is supplied under the terms of a license agreement or
     nondisclosure agreement and may not be copied or disclosed except
     in accordance with the terms of that agreement.
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2013-06-13 21:48:13 UTC
Any news here? If not, I suggest that we change LICENSE to "all-rights-reserved BSD LGPL-2.1+" and add RESTRICT="mirror bindist".

SRC_URI is dead, but users who already have the distfile would still be able to install the package.

Done now. Closing.
