Author field should contain ebuild-author. aintainer should
also point to te same person initialy, but it might be changed later.
As you are the one that writes ebuild, you can decide on whatever license ;)
Just don't expect it to be added to the /usr/portage if it's not GPL.
An yes, you can leave the copyright to yourself.
