Why would you try to pressure him into changing the license? As already pointed out, the license used is not a "custom" or "nonstandard" license, but even if it was I do not think the ports system needs to be in the business of deciding that some license that is not already well-represented in the ports system is not "good enough" on the basis of its relative lack of popularity alone. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] _______________________________________________ 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"
