Hi, Curret media-libs/tiff has: jbig? ( >=media-libs/jbigkit-2.1:=[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] ) But jbigkit license is strict GPLv2+, not LGPL: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/jbigkit/ (URL itself mentions GPL without version, but one may see GPLv2+ in the code headers). So when libtiff is linked with libjbig, it must be GPLv2+ as well. Considering large number of tiff reverse dependencies, their license must be updated as well for tiff[jbig] dependency when necessary and possible, otherwise such dependency must be forbidden (e.g. GPL-incompatible packages must link with tiff[-jbig]). Jbigkit also allows dual licensing under commercial license, but I suppose we don't have such case in the tree.
