Doing a totally unscientific investigation reveals that the trend seems to be towards the use of GPLv3 license. As a 'claws-mail' user myself, I know that, that caused a problem with the 'ClamAV' plug-in that was formerly used by 'claws-mail' Since it appears to be apparent that newer software might very well be released under the GPLv3 license, it might behoove the FreeBSD team to rethink its ideas or beliefs regarding the inclusion of such software into the base system. At the very least, it might very well make life easier for end users who need the support that programs using that license are now offering. Then again, I could be wrong. Just my 2=C2=A2. --=20 Gerard gerard@seibercom.net Campus sidewalks never exist as the straightest line between two points. M. M.
