I am not a lawyer. That being said I have done some homework and did a = lot if reading in February 2020. Sent my findings to the port maintainer of = print/pdflib, but did not get a response, unfortunately. My conclusion is that you don't need to agree to PDFlib GmbH's license, = because all of the legalese on their home page applies to a completely different = product than the one used by pecl-pdflib. But step by step ... 1. pecl-pdflib is published under the PHP license, so it is clearly = open source. 2. The FreeBSD port is not based on pdflib, but pdflib-lite - this = is the crucial point. 3. pdflib-lite is a product abandoned by PDFlib GmbH in 2011. 4. pdflib-lite archives come with an open source license bundled in = the archive. 5. This is the only license applicable to our case. All the other = licensing stuff on their website applies to pdflib - *which is a completely different = product*. 6. The license bundled with pdflib-lite explicitly permits the = distribution of binaries as long as the license document and some other auxiliary files are = included. 7. The port does this and puts the necessary documents in = /usr/local/share/doc/pdflib. You won't find any information about pdflib-lite on PDFlib GmbH's = website, because they pulled it. Nonetheless the source is "out there", bundled with a = permissive license which cannot be taken back. So the entire discussion is moot - as long as pecl-pdflib can be built = with pdflib-lite. The problem with the port/packages infrastructure is that this line in = ports/print/pdflib/Makefile is nonsense, IMHO: RESTRICTED=3D Many odd restrictions on usage and = distribution Download the pdflib-lite tarball and see the documents for yourself. I = am repeating myself: all the legalese on the PDFlib GmbH website *does not apply* to this = product (pdflib-lite). Kind regards, Patrick -- punkt.de GmbH Patrick M.
