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

- The perl script doesn't include a license (only a warranty disclaimer).
- I cannot find any license information on the HOMEPAGE.

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

Reply from upstream received, see attachment.

"The same GPL applies to it as to CTorrent", which according to <http://sourceforge.net/projects/ctorrent/> is GPL-2.
