Hi, I was thinking about adding the OSSP licence into our catalog to fix this request once fo all until I realized by reading the ossp.org website, the the license we are talking about is considered as a BSD licence by the creators themselves. So basically, if we respect their will, the license is basically a BSD license with 4 clauses : http://www.ossp.org/doc/license.html Cheers, -- rodrigo On 09/09/24 21:05, наб wrote: > Hi! > > I'm the new upstream for all OSSP software (https://sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp). > As part of this, I am surveying downstream packaging > (to see if I need to thaw anything beside ossp-uuid). > > The mirror URL acceptable for Mk/bsd.sites.mk is > https://lfs.nabijaczleweli.xyz/0022-OSSP.org-mirror/ftp.ossp.org/ossp-ftp/pkg/%SUBDIR%/ > > Of interest here are: > devel/mm https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-mm > devel/ossp-al https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-al > devel/ossp-cfg https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-cfg > devel/ossp-ex https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-ex > devel/ossp-l2 https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-l2 > devel/ossp-val https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-val > devel/ossp-var https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-var > devel/ossp-xds https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-xds > devel/shtool https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-shtool > devel/str https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-str > lang/p5-ePerl https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-eperl > mail/lmtp2nntp https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-lmtp2nntp > misc/iselect https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-iselect > misc/ossp-uuid https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-uuid > misc/p5-OSSP-uuid https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-uuid > net/ossp-sa https://git.sr.ht/~nabijaczleweli/ossp-sa > > Which say > $ for f in $p; do git grep -i lic HEAD:$f/Makefile; done > HEAD:devel/mm/Makefile:LICENSE= BSD4CLAUSE > HEAD:devel/mm/Makefile:LICENSE_FILE= ${WRKSRC}/LICENSE > this is wrong, ossp-mm/LICENSE says: > ==================================================================== > Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Ralf S.
