Could someone just enumerate the advantages of importing LPRng? It seems to be a package which can me made to do everything FreeBSD's lpr can do, but it does not seem to be a superset of FreeBSD's lpr. This means that there is a cost associated with bringing it in as a replacement. Are we sure that the cost is justified? Is it so much better than the existing lpr that having it available as a port is "not enough"? I have no stsrong opinion one way or the other, but I do get the feeling that this thread has skipped an important issue, instead focusing on licensing. This looks like a little cart before horse.
