but it's outside of @FREE

Looks like a new license needs to be added?

I don't think so. Both ebuilds have LICENSE="repoze" which looks correct to me.

IIUC, this bug is about adding repoze to the MISC-FREE license group?

[Comment 4 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) 2017-04-08 22:48:26 UTC]

so, is this request for the repoze license to be added to the MISC-FREE licence group?

If this license is confirmed as free, can be added to the MISC-FREE group?

[Comment 6 Ulrich Müller 2017-04-17 19:07:28 UTC]

@Licenses team: This is basically the wording of 3-clause BSD plus a 4th clause requiring modified files to be marked as such. Debian considers the license as free, and we have the very similar BSD-with-attribution in MISC-FREE already.

So unless there are objections, I am going to add this to the MISC-FREE license group.

Seems there are none.

Done.

Thanks for reporting!
