Since expect will soon be deleted from the ccd, I'm not sure
there is a point to adding a METADATA file for it. If you do,
then the license is wrong, it's not gpl it's public domain + GPL
I believe. You may have been mislead because since it contains
a test program which is under the GPL, when it was bundled
we indeed had to treat it as GPL'd and so the SUNWexpect package
has bits about the GPL in the copyright file.
but it's probably easiest to just not create a METADATA file
in the first place. Unless you're intending to push this
back into an s10 update ccd, but you probably can't do that
since the tcl/tk you need won't be there.
Kinda interesting you still have a patch to make it use
GNU tail, but the bundled expect doesn't need it? that
might be a good question to ask the integrator of
expect into sfw.
I don't understand why SFWctags was moved in pkgdefs/Makefile.

I might actually note that in comments in the tcl/tk Makefile.sfw's.
Along with noting the need to track upgrades in Solaris.
