The ebuilds are currently marked with LICENSE="as-is", which most certainly isn't right. I cannot find any license information in the package. The HOMEPAGE (archived at <http://web.archive.org/web/20100927093528/http://marsoft.dyndns.info/fortunes-gentoo-ru/>; the original one appears to be dead) has the following information: Лицензия Все права на цитаты принадлежат их авторам. Права на любые упомянутые торговые марки принадлежат соответствующим лицам или компаниям. Цитаты распространяются по принципу КАК ЕСТЬ (AS-IS), без каких-либо гарантий (явных или подразумеваемых). Please clarify under what terms this package can be distributed.
Assigne to qnikst@gentoo.org as it is upstream developer and mantainer. Please remove marsoft@ya.ru from metadata.
And also change homepage to new - fortunes.gentoo.ru ( canonical name : fortunes.gentoo.lv, serwer hosted by me )

This isn't a real license, but simply a statement who is the owner the material. (A license would say something about permissions, e.g. the permission to redistribute.) However, the file consists of short quotations only, and most likely it falls under "fair use" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use). So I suggest to mark the ebuild with LICENSE="fairuse".
thanks. fixed.
