Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

The ebuild currently has LICENSE="as-is" which most likely is wrong.

- No license is included in the package's tarball.
- I cannot find any license information on the HOMEPAGE.

Can you please ask upstream for clarification under with terms this package can be distributed?

Mail to upstream sent.

> Mail to upstream sent.

Bounced:
   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<vcdgear@hotmail.com>
    (reason: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable)
<x69@vcdquality.com>
    (reason: 550 5.7.1 <x69@vcdquality.com>: Relay access denied.)

I suggest that we change LICENSE to "all-rights-reserved" and add mirror and bindist restriction.

Fixed.
