https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D221261 Bug ID: 221261 Summary: Add new license for Facebook's PATENTS grant v2 Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: patch Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Ports Framework Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vlad-fbsd@acheronmedia.com CC: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 185067 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D185067&action= =3Dedit Add Facebook's PATENTS v2 license I believe we'd need to have Facebook's PATENTS grant as a license in ports. There's been some fuss about it with Apache Foundation banning all software licensed with it, like React.js. More info on teh subject: * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-303 and * http://perens.com/blog/2017/07/19/what-the-apache-facebook-reactos-issue-me= ans-to-companies/ We have archivers/zstd that only lists BSD2CLAUSE, but imho that's incomple= te, or at least not really BSD since there are additional restrictions (I'll be filing a separate bug that adds this). ZSTD in the base contains the PATENTS grant, though: * https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/contrib/zstd/PATENTS?view=3Dlog Attached is a patch that adds the license for ports. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
