Well authors kindly changed license are removed revocation term from it. The only thing left that worries me is that US export laws stuff - I absolutely don't understand what that means and how we can/cannot violate these by mirroring distfiles/packages. For now I've removed all mirroring permissions from LICENSE_PERMS for EULA, so this should be safe. However, I'd really like that stuff explained by someone so mirroring could maybe be reenabled. Is I understand, to comply with license, we need to prohibit distribution of software into "(or to a national or resident of) any country to which the United States has embargoed goods", which we likely won't do thus we should not mirror the files. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amd...@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amd...@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
