The "no-source-code" license label is redundant if the license itself is not in the @FREE license group. See the tracker bug 615456 for a longer explanation. I also have doubts if Skype-TOS covers all components of the package.
OK, so removing 'no-source-code' from license is obvious. As for he second part of your comment. Should I add licenses for bundled libnode (BSD-2) and FFmpeg (LGPL-2.1? GPL-2?) ?
(In reply to Karol Grudziński from comment #1) > Should I add licenses for bundled libnode (BSD-2) and FFmpeg Yes, please. > (LGPL-2.1? GPL-2?) ? This should be LGPL (but I haven't checked), because a proprietary binary linked against GPL components would not be distributable.
I did some research and it looks that libffmpeg.so comes from Chromium which is used by Electron which was used to make new Skype. There is a long list of apps that were also made in Electron (Slack, Atom, VSC etc.).
Hi guys. I installed this package because skype is being discontinued in portage. My surprise is i could install it without accepting any licence what is totally wrong. If you go here: https://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ you can read: By downloading and installing Skype for Linux Beta, you agree to the terms of use and privacy statement. and a link to this EULA: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement/ Please Update the EULA of skypeforlinux because is not open/free software. Thank you for your work! :)
Only for aclaration... It seems skypeforlinux beta dont use SkypeTOS eula anymore. So somebody has to update the EULA of skypeforlinux to the new one. I have to file a new bug or i can leave in this one? because is not about "no-source-code" the problem is about SkypeTOS is not used anymore and there are a new EULA called Microsoft Services Agreement. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement/ I am not sure if i am right but the point is... I could install skypeforlinux without putting anything inside /etc/portage/package.license Thank you again :)

What we need in LICENSE are the terms that regulate distribution of the program, though. Copyright is about distributing, not about using a program. > I am not sure if i am right but the point is... I could install > skypeforlinux without putting anything inside /etc/portage/package.license What is your ACCEPT_LICENSE? If you set it to "@FREE" (which isn't the Portage default, unfortunately) then you should get only free software.
Thank you for your quick response. cat /etc/portage/package.license # required by chrome-binary-plugins (argument) www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins:stable google-chrome # required by skype (argument) net-im/skype skype-4.0.0.7-copyright dev-dotnet/referenceassemblies-pcl dotnet-eula # required by adobe-flash (argument) www-plugins/adobe-flash AdobeFlash-11.x emerge --info|grep LICENSE ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" ------------------------ I don't completely understand all the license stuff in gentoo. If is the right behaviour sorry for the noise in this issue. I was thinking that I had to accept license in the same way that I had to do with net-im/skype. Thank you very much for your work :)
