Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-05 20:51:46 UTC
The ebuild currently has LICENSE="as-is" which most likely is wrong.

There is no license included in the tarball. Also I cannot find any info about distribution terms on the package's HOMEPAGE.
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2013-05-01 18:54:32 UTC
There's this comment in the ebuild:
# Email sent to author on 2012-01-18 querying about license

@vapier: Was there any reply?
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2013-05-03 18:32:59 UTC
i did at one point, but it was more of a "i'll fix it" response rather than "the license is XXX".  that was the last i heard.

If we don't get anything better from upstream, I suggest LICENSE="all-rights-reserved" plus mirror restriction.
Comment 4 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-04-20 18:07:55 UTC
I've asked upstream again.

No reply. We must assume all-rights-reserved then.
