+Gentoo license note: This package is distributed in binary form and
+its source code is not made available. This renders the package
+non-free in terms of the Free Software Definition [1], the Open Source
+Definition [2], or (for works other than software) the Definition of
+Free Cultural Works [3], even if it is distributed under a free
+software license. Source code is the preferred form in which a
+programmer would modify the work.
+
+Note to developers: The "no-source-code" license label must never be
+used on its own, but only along with the license under which the
+package is distributed. It should only be used together with licenses
+that would qualify as free when used for source code.
