--- Comment #7 from Allison Nicole Reid <root@cooltrainer.org> ---
Yeah, I see what you mean. Unfortunately there are no distribution terms th=
at I
can find for the new version on Subsonic.org or in their forums, but the so=
urce
to 6.0 is also definitely not available from what I can see.

The README in the 6.0 archive does say "Subsonic is free software: you can
redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public
License.", true. The latest git tag in SF in the final GPL version 6.0-beta=
1,
so it could be argued he is in violation of that license by distributing 6.0
with that readme but not the corresponding source. I am more concerned about
the intention and less about the technical details. He has made his intenti=
on
to close the project clear despite the poor job of cleaning up after the old
license since that's likely just a leftover of whatever automation builds t=
he
packages. That's why I removed it from my port as well. I'm happy to put up=
 a
diff with that still intact if you prefer.

I would like to see this port updated to 6.0 with or without the license
removal since the 5.3 WAR distfile has become broken, as noticed by someone
else here: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3D7&t=3D16590

Alternatively I could leave the port at the final definitely-GPL version 5.=
3,
but I will have to build a new WAR distribution from that source instead of
relying on the broken upstream distfile.

I also opened bug 213299 to the maintainer of www/subsonic-standalone to
clarify the license on that port since it has the same issue. That port sti=
ll
lists LICENSE=3DGPLv3.
