Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2013-04-05 20:42:54 UTC 
The package contains the following notice in file dpic.c:

    Copyright 1995-2008 J. D. Aplevich.  You may use or copy this
    file, but you may not sell it without permission.

It is non-free because of the "you may not sell" clause. Other than this, no license information appears to be included.

Maybe it was best if the package was bumped to dpic-2013.03.10 which is available on its homepage. According to README, the new version is free software, distributed under "BSD-2 CC-BY-3.0 GPL-2+".
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2013-04-20 09:14:16 UTC 
For the time being, I've changed the ebuild to "free-noncomm". Leaving this bug open until the package is bumped.
