Yes, I obviously can override whatever I wish but sweeping issues under the rug like this ultimately doesn't benefit me. It's yet more more "diff" that I have to maintain and have break on me. Now -- will FreeBSD ports committers set all tex ports to LPPL* for consistency and tell the FreeBSD users to build them from source as a consequence? I kind of think having no tex packages in binary form will go over like a lead balloon so I'm not really seeing how your suggestion benefits the FreeBSD community. I was trying to help resolve the problem for everyone, not just DF. John
