15 After chatting a bit more about this on IRC, let me clarify.
16
17 This is an issue that is not related to the eclass, but an
18 example package (patch 3 isn't the eclass, it is just an example of how
19 to use it). There is no LICENSE setting in the eclass, so it doesn't
20 affect the eclass.
21
22 What I was advised is that we are all supposed to audit our packages and
23 make sure LICENSE= is correct.
