I am curious about if FreeBSD has a policy on licenses for patches added to ports? I am looking through the FreeBSD Porter's handbook and don't see anything mentioned yet. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/slow-patch.html doesn't mention licensing. The port where I have heard complaints about is the added copyright to ports/audio/cdparanoia Any comments? Any policy? One idea would be that anything added to FreeBSD ports files patches should need to be under the same original license. But I understand there could be exceptions. Mostly I am just curious. Jeremy C.
