Agreed. The need for a license is *not* a description of the package. |
| 12 |
The best fit for it *is* the LICENSE variable, unless it is provided in |
| 13 |
metadata.xml, which then precludes it being package-specific and not |
| 14 |
ebuild specific, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. It also |
| 15 |
means that we need an extension of the DTD, unless we just put the |
| 16 |
information in the longdescription field somewhere, which I think still |
| 17 |
falls under the "It isn't a part of the description" thing. |
