Hi! I've made a port - games/steelstorm, however (pointyhat to me) I've later discovered that it has some restrictive clauses - namely, license revocation and compliance to US export laws. For now, the port asks user to confirm a license, however I'm not sure if automatic downloading/mirroring a distfile is ok. Here's a full license text: http://amdmi3.ru/files/license.txt software authors kindly agreed to remove revocation term (which worried be the most), however other terms are in question. Could someone review that license and say whether that's ok in ports, whether distfile mirroring is OK and whether we should modify it to make user download file for himself (like with java)? -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amdmi3@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amdmi3@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru
