You shouldn't put the version number in SRC_URI, that way it still works
when you rename the ebuild for a later version.

It's in the documentation files in the tarball Licence All parts of the WORDS system, source code and data files, are made freely available to anyone who wishes to use them, for whatever purpose. Which makes it Freely Distributable, surely. OK, setting LICENSE=as-is. So I guess that leaves this bit: # Comprehensive list of any and all USE flags leveraged in the ebuild, # with the exception of any ARCH specific flags, i.e. ppc, sparc, # x86 and alpha. This is a required variable. If the ebuild doesn't # use any USE flags, set to . IUSE=X gnome What does leveraged in the ebuild mean? I'm inclined to set IUSE= as suggested. Is that correct?
