[gentoo-dev] [RFC] Adding potentially questionable license AcePerl-Indemnity

[Kent Fredric]

I've just discovered dev-perl/Ace has some fun questionable licensing
which includes a lovely indemnity clause, which had previously gone
unnoticed, and it stipulates additional requests for research
publications, which is not something mentioned in any license currently
in tree other than Tinker

Following is the entire body of the license I plan to put in
licenses/AcePerl-Indemnity ( name chosen to specifically alert people
tempted to accept this license that Indemnification is an important
part they should actually read )

Current advice also says that due to the terms of this license, we have
to RESTRICT="mirror" this as well, unless the Trustees want to sign off
on potentially indemnifying CSHL

Also following up with CPAN because as its *currently* mirrored on
CPAN, and has been mirrored there for at *least* 12 years, its
potentially in a legal situation as well.

( But that's the fault of the uploader if true, because you can't
upload anything to CPAN without mirroring being something you didn't
expect )

Once this license is added, the plan is to rework Ace-*.ebuild to be under

LICENSE="|| ( Artistic GPL-1+ ) AcePerl-Indemnity"
