Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello! Please see the ftp/downloader port. the LICENSE tells us: root:/usr/ports/ftp/downloader.old/work/nt-1.07.1 $ less LICENSE This program is free sources but not GPL!!!!! You can't modify sources without agreement with autor but can distribute unmodified sources. As far as I understand thisssss. Hmm. We _are_ modifying the sources with the patches in the patches-directory. Including this port in the ports collection is the same as distributing modified source, I think. So... is it ok to modfiy stuff or not? Just wondering... Alex -- I doubt, therefore I might be.
