This seems to hold for the MIT (library) copyright, but both programs claim CERN copyright. And that clause seems more liberal. I don't want to burn my fingers on this though. > Since the latter port contains the two binaries albeit not at the > same location, maybe it's not worth duplicating? Probably not. Although I could do without the gratuitous httpd binary and libwww... For now I want to drop the new port request and will reconsider. Probably the best solutions is to write my own version of these (rather simple but quite useful) programs from scratch, without the unnecessary library and copyright burden. This is not high on my todo-list though. > Get additional points for fixing the w3c-httpd-copyright :) ;-) > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=76310 Thanks, Johan
