Hmm, maybe we should implement a keyword in the ebuild that tells people
under what licence a package is distributed. That way, it would be easy
for the user to check and avoid non-Free-as-in-Stallman software if they
were that way inclined.

I propose that we call this keyword 'LICENSE' (US spelling seems to be
policy...), add it to every ebuild and make repoman check that it's
there.

Oh, wait...
