OK, I see.
But the package open-axiom-svn 1082-1 says, License is GPL2.
looking up the License on the projects's homepage, I found
" Modified BSD license". So, "custom" (because not BSD, but modified BSD)
seems to be correct.
See here:
http://www.open-axiom.org/license.html
So the package
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/open-axiom/
says "custom" license
and the package
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/open-axiom-svn/
says GPL2, which is not correct.
Is a comment to the maintainer and waiting for answer sufficient?
Ciao,
Oliver
