This seems entirely too black-and-white to me.
Fine, go debate it somewhere. This is off-topic for debian-legal and
unwelcome because we have other work to do.
You failed to attribute the previous author. I hope they take a
liberal view of your copyright infringement, or that you acted within
your state's "fair use" laws. I still think it's a bit rude of you.
gentoo had no way to choose between licences beyond reading ebuilds,
last I saw. A generally cavalier attitude to copyright means I no
longer have any gentoo systems here.
