Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-26 11:46:42 UTC
According to README, this package is dual licensed under GPL-2+ and the following license:

   plan is Copyrighted by Thomas Driemeyer, 1993-2005. License to copy, publish,
   and distribute is granted to everyone provided that three conditions are met:

   - my name and email address, "Thomas Driemeyer <thomas@bitrot.de>" must
     remain in the distribution and any documentation that was not part of
     this distribution. In particular, my name and address must be shown in
     the About popup.
   - if you redistribute a modified version, the fact that the version is
     modified must be stated in all places that my name is shown.
   - this copyright notice must be included in your distribution.

   If these conditions are met, you can do whatever you like. The idea is that
   I would be pissed if someone else claimed he wrote the thing, and I don't
   want bugs introduced by others attributed to me. Make as much money with it
   as you can. Drop me a line, I am curious.

   There are no implied or expressed warranties for plan. I do not claim it is
   good for anything whatsoever, and if you lose your precious data or your dog
   dies this is entirely your problem.

It is somewhat unclear, e.g., what is meant by "any documentation that was not part of this distribution"? Therefore I suggest that we just ignore the alternative and mark the ebuild as GPL-2+.
