Description Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2016-09-30 15:04:22 UTC
All of the files under ${S}/Zend are licensed under the "The Zend Engine License, version 2.00". This will need to be added to LICENSE, but first, we need to add it to the tree.

The text of that license is available at $url. I'm proposing we add it as "Zend-2.00". License team, what do you think?
Comment 1 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2016-09-30 18:29:57 UTC
The license team once agreed that if possible we should stick to the standardized license names by spdx.
They list it as
"Zend-2.0"
So I think we should use that. See:
https://spdx.org/licenses/

Thanks for the advice!

    licenses: add new Zend-2.0 license as part of the @MISC-FREE group.

    The "Zend Engine License, version 2.00" covers parts of the PHP
    runtime. The latest version of the Zend license is vanilla BSD:

      https://framework.zend.com/license

    However, all of the sources shipped with dev-lang/php still refer to
    version 2.00 of the license, so we're including it. Version 2.00 is a
    modified BSD license with a few more attribution clauses thrown in. It
    is still a free software license (although not approved, to my
    knowledge), so it has been added to the @MISC-FREE license group.

This is actually FSF approved:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#Zend

I have adjusted profiles/license_groups accordingly.

How about that, thanks. That's why you're the boss.
