next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
got a new port. submitted by the copyright owner and author.
for reference, pr ports/168832
there is no LICENSE= in the Makefile, no LICENSE.txt in the
distribution, but it does have the attached in the main.c file.
Q: should I ask him to select one of the standard FreeBSD/GPL licenses
(and edit his source )?
Q: or do I do a 'post-patch' and head -27 bsdinfo.c >
$[FILESDIR}/LICENSE.txt and add LICENSE= ${FILESDIR}/LICENSE.txt ?
(LICENSE TYPE EULA?)
what is the policy on custom licenses? it wants this in binary form
(pkgs, cd, etc), so something has to be done.
