Hi all,
I'm just going over the various COPYING files to prepare tagging the
appropiate licenses for pkgsrc.

e_dbus:
I'm not sure if this is intentional, but this is certainly not
the MIT license and it looks like it is functionally equal or stronger
than the original BSD license. E.g. it might not be GPL compatible.
See the third paragraph (... its documentation and marketing & publicy
materials, ...). So calling it a BSD license in the spec file is only
partially true.

ecore:
License in spec should be MIT if RPM distinguishes this.

edje:
The second paragraph is non-OSI and some parts are weird, e.g. the file
doesn't actually contain a copyright notice. I think the 2-clause BSD
license covers the intention and is OSI approved, but that's your call.

eet:
Same as edje.

efreet:
Same as e_dbus.

embryo:
Same as edje.

enlightenment:
Same as edje

evas:
Same as edje

Summary:
Having two licenses that aren't OSI approved is suboptimal. It would
make corporate usage at least somewhat easier to have only OSI approved
licenses as there are a lot of guidelines dealing with those already. At
the very least, it would be useful to only have a single non-LGPL
license, in which case the (weaker) edje version is preferable. I'm
bringing this up (again) now since having consistency useful for EFL
1.0.0.
