The ebuild currently has LICENSE="freedist". fractsrc.txt says: Copyright Information: ====================== Some parts of the source are from the public domain and are not copyrighted. Some parts of the source bear explicit copyright notices from the author and are subject to the conditions listed there by the author. The remainder of the source (not already public domain, no explicit author's copyright notice) is Copyright 1990, 1991 by the Stone Soup Group (a loosely associated and ever-growing group of fanatic programmers). The source code may be copied freely and may be used in other programs under the following conditions: It may not be used in a commercial program which produces fractal images. Please credit the author (in general, credit Fractint and the Stone Soup Group) as the source of the code. dos_help/help.src: Fractint is freeware. The copyright is retained by the Stone Soup Group. Fractint may be freely copied and distributed in unmodified form but may not be sold. (A nominal distribution fee may be charged for media and handling by freeware and shareware distributors.) Fractint may be used personally or in a business - if you can do your job better by using Fractint, or using images from it, that's great! It may not be given away with commercial products without explicit permission from the Stone Soup Group. There is no warranty of Fractint's suitability for any purpose, nor any acceptance of liability, express or implied. common/parserfp.c: (c) Copyright 1992-1995 Chuck Ebbert. All rights reserved.

Sale of this code, or its use in any commercial product requires permission from the author. Nominal distribution and handling fees may be charged by shareware and freeware distributors. Given the "may not be sold" clause, "free-noncomm" may be a better choice for this package. Some files are in the public domain, and common/printer.c contains a "HPND" notice. In summary, the ebuild should be updated to LICENSE="free-noncomm HPND public-domain"
