Description Alessandro Barbieri 2017-05-10 18:10:38 UTC

The license in the ebuild is freedist but can't find a license upstream.
This license should be changed to all-right-reserved.

Thank you for the report. Please create one ticket per package.
The code is 8k lines, including libs and comments. 

Upstream is dead
The ebuild has no maintainer.
Could not see any license information. 

If you are interested in this package, please contact the author and fork it, if legal. This ebuild would be a candidate for tree cleaning if it can not be fixed.

I don't think we should be redistributing this without a license. I've masked it for removal and sent the announcement.
