Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-24 11:04:36 UTC 
In debian/copyright there's the following notice:

   The files written by the grml-team are available under
   the GPL license version 2. For license information regarding
   files not deriving from the grml project please take a look
   at the affected file itself.

However, there's no license information whatsoever in any of these files. The only notice I've found is in arne_schwabes/zshrc and it's not helpful:

   # I got this file from someone (don't remember who though) 
   # and modified it :).

Not sure what we should do here. It's really upstream's task to sort this out. Certainly the license of this package is not "as-is".

Sent mail to upstream.
Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-04-03 11:07:03 UTC 
Upstream has released zsh-lovers-0.9.0 which resolves the issue.

Please version bump the ebuild. License is GPL-2 (only) now.
Comment 3 Tim Harder gentoo-dev 2014-04-03 16:40:53 UTC 
Added to the tree.
Comment 4 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-05-25 11:19:45 UTC 
I've updated zsh-lovers-0.8.3 to LICENSE="GPL-2 all-rights-reserved" now. No mirror restriction, since we have distributed the file for a long time, and I assume that 0.8.3 will be removed as soon as 0.9.0 is stable.
