The ebuild currently says "freedist", but the README file says this: License? -------- TkInfo is free. The TkInfo script itself is covered under a BSD-style license (start the program, type 'h' and go to "Copyright"). The man page and the pixmap were contributed by the Debian project and are covered by the GPL. The "BSD-style" copyright in tkinfo is actually what we call Old-MIT. tkinfo.1 says "GNU Public [sic!] License" without version, so (by section 9 of GPL-2 or section 14 of GPL-3) it can be distributed under any GPL version.
