Good $timezonegreeting,
The README at both
https://github.com/coreos/portage-stable
and
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/portage-stable/+/master/README
claims that:
"""
Copyright (c) 2011 The Chromium OS Authors. 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
