The ebuild currently says LICENSE="freedist". src/COPYRIGHT says: The following copyright notice is intended to cover all source code, all documentation, and all executable programs of the PHYLIP package. (c) Copyright 1980-2008. University of Washington. All rights reserved. Permission is granted to reproduce, perform, and modify these programs and documentation files. Permission is granted to distribute or provide access to these programs provided that this copyright notice is not removed, the programs are not integrated with or called by any product or service that generates revenue, and that your distribution of these documentation files and programs are free. Any modified versions of these materials that are distributed or accessible shall indicate that they are based on these programs. Institutions of higher education are granted permission to distribute this material to their students and staff for a fee to recover distribution costs. Permission requests for any other distribution of these program should be directed to license(at)u.washington.edu Also, the headers of the source files contain the following notices: Permission is granted to copy and use this program provided no fee is charged for it and provided that this copyright notice is not removed. In particular, the first notice says "not integrated with or called by any product or service that generates revenue", and the second one says "provided no fee is charged". So LICENSE="free-noncomm" seems more appropriate. (Note that the license has changed to BSD-2 for >=phylip-3.696.)
