Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2017-04-13 17:08:01 UTC
The "no-source-code" license label is not a license and must not be used on its own. See the tracker bug 615456 for a longer explanation.

I wrote a mail to upstream.

> The Linux desktop beta is Proprietary Software that's distributed under our Terms of Service which means that you won't be able to redistribute the app for another distro. That being said, you can create a script to install Slack on Gentoo under any license you want because the script would be yours. I'll also share that unknown license bit with our engineers to investigate.

In slack package for Ubuntu/Fedora I have found this:

# grep -A2 slack@2.5.2 ./usr/lib/slack/LICENSE        
slack@2.5.2 
------------------ 
License: UNKNOWN
  
So, upstream doesn't have a license for slack package itself, just a ToS - https://slack.com/legal
Comment 3 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2017-05-02 08:41:28 UTC
Since their terms of service don't mention the software at all, I suggest that we label the package as LICENSE="all-rights-reserved" and RESTRICT="mirror bindist".
