Hi!

I was wondering about the license of the ebuilds. So, when I'm making ebuild, 
I want to reuse what I have read in others ebuilds. 
I have no read nothing about it, so I don't know that I'm not making bad 
things.

So, the question is: What is the license of a gentoo in .ebuild ?
When I summited some ebuilds, I was never asked for distributing my ebuild.

Where can I read more about ->gentoo pieces<- licenses

Thx a lot for stand me ;)
Best Regards.

The gentoo ebuilds (actually all gentoo) are licenced unther the GPL.
For ebuilds this can be seen at the top of every ebuild
