I do not yet believe that it is possible to meet Tuomo's interpretation of his license without his prior review of every possible patch, and I'm not willing to obligate the FreeBSD project, in perpetuity, to be able to do so. I have no faith whatsoever that the criteria won't change underneath us, based on the conversations with the pkgsrc, OpenBSD, and other package folks (as archived on public lists). Without written assurance from Tuomo that it won't, I cannot in good faith allow this code back in. I highly doubt that that will happen. The only situation I _might_ find acceptable is for us to follow OpenBSD's path and reintegrate the last release of ion-3 that was GPL only, without the extra clauses. Otherwise, I believe we are simply risking too much. Even that, however, I think is extremely risky, given his track record. >From everything I've seen, the goalposts keep moving. I do not trust that they will not continue to do so. Therefore, I don't want to find out, in a court of law, which parts of this license are legally enforceable. It's simply not worth the trouble for one single package out of nearly 18,000. mcl _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
