Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-12-09 11:22:22 UTC
I don't see any license, neither on the package's homepage, nor included in the tarball.

The ebuild claims LICENSE="free-noncomm", where does this info come from?
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2020-01-09 13:26:49 UTC
No reply from maintainer.
SRC_URI is dead, and the package is mirror restricted:

Comment 3 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2020-02-09 13:14:09 UTC
I have updated LICENSE to "all-rights-reserved" which should settle the license issue. For the dead SRC_URI, there already is bug 694548 open, so I'm going to close this bug and CC treecleaners there.

I've also looked at the new SoulseekQt-2018-1-30-64bit-appimage.tgz distfile distributed in appimage format. Again, it doesn't include any license. Even worse. it includes bundled binaries of libs that are under the LGPL, but including neither their sources, nor the text of the LGPL. This very much looks like a GPL violation to me.
