I'm putting together an ebuild for libcap (bug #2333), and I ran into |
| 4 |
something in the tree. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The license included with it wasn't one I had seen myself before so I |
| 7 |
was checking if it was in $PORTAGE/licenses. I see that all of libcap, |
| 8 |
PAM and PWDB have identical licenses (except for the same of the |
| 9 |
package). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The license in question seems to a dual BSD/GPL license. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Instead of creating a new libcap license file, I think we should |
| 14 |
abstract the package name in PAM/PWDB and point all 3 items to this. |
| 15 |
Possible name is $PORTAGE/licenses/BSD_GPL |
