Those are the two you get to choose from and > that's just the breaks. Note that one of them is not the GPL. He said GNU and Artistic licences. ^^^ I took that to mean no choice. Having read the copyright, it is not GPL. LPRng uses GNU gettext, which is GPL, for NLS support. In other words it is distributed under GNU and Artistic licenses, meaning no choice. Would that be problematic (either omitting NLS support or requiring the gettext for any builds that require NLS support) for anyone? Otherwise to keep life simple, it should stay in ports.
