Robert, 
        I already used src_uri arrows on that ebuild. The thing is that I don't 
know 
how mirrors treat the arrows. Will mirrors  save the file using the the normal 
filename or the one I specified on arrow? If the later, I need to have 
RESTRICT="nomirror" or something. I took a look on EAPI2 specifications but 
couldn't find how mirrors behave with arrows.
        About the licensing issue, i think that the best is to make it dual 
license 
cause this is what I get by reading their site over and over again.

If there are no objections, this package will be on tree withing the next 48 
hours.

Thanks
