Agreed. The need for a license is *not* a description of the package. The best fit for it *is* the LICENSE variable, unless it is provided in metadata.xml, which then precludes it being package-specific and not ebuild specific, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. It also means that we need an extension of the DTD, unless we just put the information in the longdescription field somewhere, which I think still falls under the "It isn't a part of the description" thing. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
