nkf is out of tree these days. Just clearing that
section should suffice I think.
Well, nkf is part of all currently supported Ruby releases.
Nevertheless, I have also opened ticket [
here](https://github.com/ruby/nkf/issues/18),
because the current situation is quite unclear to me. For example the .gemspec file claims
`Ruby OR BSD-2-Clause` licenses since commit:git|2e3a7f70ae71650be6ea38a483f66ce17ca5eb1d
despite the LEGAL file saying something different.
----------------------------------------
Bug #20397: The nkf license in LEGAL file seems to be obsolete
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20397#change-107875
* Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch)
* Status: Open
* ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0 (2023-12-25 revision 5124f9ac75) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
The LEGAL file seems to contain [obsolete
information](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/a69f0047cb489c136001937442c1…
about nkf license.
It seems that nkf indeed use such license, but in upstream, it was first changed to
[
MIT](https://github.com/nurse/nkf/commit/c12280757bfb275d6f9e6b0bf6293a28b0… and
then immediately to
[
zlib](https://github.com/nurse/nkf/commit/2ed3e1c270f1deb9487f7bc7d7586030f…
license.
Ruby has picked up that change with commit:git|13313688b243882aff7815598ddd9fcbae69bc17
Maybe @naruse can comment about this.
