KG, http://www.secnetix.de/bsd >Environment: FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE (ports collection RELEASE_6_0_0) >Description: In the /usr/ports/LEGAL file, the entry for "vtk" is missing a proper description (third column is empty): VTK-* math/vtk According to their website at http://www.vtk.org the software is basically under a BSD-style license. The library contains a few classes which use patented algorithms, but that does not affect redistribution of the software. Therefore I would like to suggest that the above entry be removed from the file /usr/ports/LEGAL. Furthermore, the following entries don't exist anymore in the ports collection. I guess they're old ports that have been removed, but it has been forgotten to remove their entries in the LEGAL file. I suggest to remove them, too: /audio/linux-realplayer /benchmarks/himeno /devel/linux_understand_ada /devel/linux_understand_c /devel/linux_understand_java /emulators/vmware_xf4mod /games/bnetd /japanese/acroread7 /java/j2sdkee /java/kaffe-devel /java/orion /misc/nwrite /net/DarwinStreaming /net/djbdns /security/md5crk /www/Mosaic /z11-themes/gnome-icons-cool-gorilla Finally, there are two lines in the LEGAL file consisting only of the word "[RESTRICTED]" (with square brackets). They don't seem to belong to anything. They should be removed, too. >How-To-Repeat: n/a >Fix: Remove the obsolete lines from the /usr/ports/LEGAL file. See above. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
