As others have pointed out, policy is policy. Don't shoot the massager.
again, that's bs. nowhere does the policy state "silently delete things without
talking to anyone", nor does it state "ignore common sense, blindly follow the
rules, and act how your think the policy states". nothing here was cause for
alarm that could possibly have warranted straight up deletion.
Since I can't just fix the copyright (that would be more wrong)
considering how copyright *actually* works for us, this statement is fairly
ludicrous.
I opted for the easy way out - remove offending bits.
sorry, but you did it wrong. please don't do it again.

Can we just have repoman directly fix the entry automatically since in
itself is nearly-pointless?
Another option is remove that header and just state that all the .ebuild
are under $license in a simpler way...
