You're welcome.

The 'GPL' value for the license field stands for "GPLv2 or later" (see
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#license). This is indeed
a bit confusing...

I edited the Archlinux page so that yaourt is *not* launched as root.
Indeed, the PKGBUILD retrieval and compilation is done under the
current unprivileged user, and root access is asked only for package
installation, for better safety.

And here is the PKGBUILD: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=62479
It is obviously based on the PKGBUILD for the release, so if you're ok
with the first one, this one should be good too :)
