Well we can set RESTRICTED if that's a problem, then we will not be distributing anything. I can mirror a distfile under my personal responsibility. Actually I think that the weirdnesses of an author should not be a reason against using useful software or making it available for use by other people, if there's no real legal threat.

resurrecting ion3 port
Hi! The ion3 window manager was previously removed from the ports tree becase of license issues. However, the clauses that causes this were removed (see [1]), so I think we should add it back. I've prepared updated version of the port ([2]), but I wanted to check with you, since azhe was who removed the port and adamw maintained it. Are there any objections against this port? adamw can also take maintainership if he feels like so, or I'll maintain it myself.

security/gnupg installing pth-2.0.7 causing problems
Hi gnupg-2.0.13 depends on devel and installs it. This causes problems on a 7.2-p3 amd64 system. A number of ports fail to build due to conflicts between pth and the standard system thread library. For example x11-toolkits/py-qt4-gui build fails with pth-2.0.7 installed. After deletion py-qt4-gui builds and installs correctly. What is the best way to deal with this when security/gnupg is required? Would it be possible for the gnupg to detect it is on an amd64 system and adjust its dependencies accordingly? Should the problem also be dealt with at source in the devel/pth port?

I hate to replay this whole issue from the beginning, but apparently there is no other way. The author orginally contacted us with a legal threat because we were not in compliance with the 28-day clause. A long, acrimonious disucssion ensued. In that discussion, the author was asked "if we agree to meet that condition going forward, would you guarantee that this would remove any further legal threat?" and he said yes ... for now. But that he reserved the right to change his mind later. *depending* on what we did or did not do in the future -- not just in adhering to the *existing clauses* like the "significant" clause or "renamed" clause -- both of which he mentioned would be part of any lawsuit. Legally indefensible? Of course. Would that prevent a lawsuit being filed? No. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. Summary: What you see as "keeping a useful piece of software out of the port collection", I see as "protect the interests of a project that I have put a great deal of interest in time to." Again, I *emphasize* that this author has changed his mind in the past, mid-debate, on the interpretation of his ... unusual ... license. I also believe that it's quite likely going forward. mcl ___ 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"
