Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

BSD (3-clause) license, according to LICENSE file in tarball.

The LICENSE file contains an additional clause referring to bundled libpcap, which is also BSD licensed with USC copyright. (Besides, the bundled lib isn't used, AFAICS.)

In summary, LICENSE="BSD" should be fine here.
