All rights reserved. Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style license that can be found in the LICENSE file. """ Since this is a copy of Gentoo ebuilds this is demonstrably wrong, the copyrights on the files themselves are intact. Copyright is obviously Gentoo Foundation, and license is GPL-2. I have been unable to find a proper contact for both repositories, so I hope people that know who to contact are reading this. Once this is corrected I'd strongly suggest to both downstreams to poste a prominent notice to inform all downstream users of this issue to avoid accidental license violations. Have fun, Patrick
