LICENSE.TXT

The package is distributed under attached license, which forbids commercial redistribution, "commercial" being defined as follows:

   2.  The term commercial is a person or entity who provides services,
   goods, or similar commodity of value in exchange for services, goods, money,
   stocks, or similar commodity of value, regardless whether its for profit,
   the costs of publishing and/or distribution, membership fees, or similar.

Not sure if this implies mirror restriction.

Furthermore:

- No Gentoo maintainer

Reassigning to treecleaners.
