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?

After 1 1/2 month no reply from source owner

Added to ebuild
RESTRICT="mirror bindist"
LICENSE="all-rights-reserved"

This should this fixed for now
