1 Dear Everyone,

3 sys-libs/glibc contains LICENSE="LGPL-2", but it would appear to be
4 subject to roughly a dozen licenses, many of which are not in the tree?

8 I can spot BSD-4, ISC and sun-rpc. There is also a license that
9 intel-ucode, but has had the provisions changed. There are also numerous
10 other licenses that I am seeing for the first time.

12 Does anyone have any thoughts on how we should handle this?
