Hi! I want to create a port for a commectial product that has native FreeBSD version. This software is not free - it is not open source and redistribution of modified archive (read: of FreeBSD package) without permission is prohibited. However, it may be used free of charge in a commertial environment and redistribution of distfile is permitted by its license. Very probably, I will get a permission for The FreeBSD Project to redistribute package so will be possible not to include NO_PACKAGE in a Makefile. Again, it might be possible to get a permission to put the package onto DVD and not to include CO_CDROM in the Makefile. The conversation goes through e-mail and in Russian. With luck, FreeBSD has enough russian-speaking committers. If I manage to obtain permissions for FreeBSD, what form they have to be? Eugene Grosbein P.S. Please CC: me as I'm not in list. Thank you.
