Hi! I want to port a game which requires data released under Limited Freeware License (http://liberatedgames.org/licenses/Limited_Freeware_License.txt) --- The owner of this software reserves all rights granted by copyright. However, the owner grants the following rights to users: 1) The right to make personal copies of the software. 2) The right to distribute the software for free (at no cost) to other users. No further rights are granted or should be assumed. This includes, but is not limited to, the right to create derivative works. --- The question is: does FreeBSD port fall under `derivative work'? I.e. may the data files be installed by it (or should I ask users to download files themselves instead) and may the package of such a port be created? Port does not modify any datafiles, it just needs to download zip and install them to ${DATADIR}. -- Dmitry A. Marakasov | jabber: amdmi3@jabber.ru amdmi3@amdmi3.ru | http://www.amdmi3.ru
