https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D213298 Vladimir Krstulja <vlad-fbsd@acheronmedia.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- See Also| |https://bugs.freebsd.org/bu | |gzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D2= 132 | |99 --- Comment #8 from Vladimir Krstulja <vlad-fbsd@acheronmedia.com> --- Personally, I'd request clarification from the developer and ask proper lic= ense be set in the upstream tarballs for 6.0+. One could argue that GPL license requires it to accompany the software in question, so the presence of that README then makes it GPL'd, regardless of developer's intentions and statements on his forum. However, I think GPL requires the full license text be present, so maybe that's really not prope= rly licensed... But I'm not a lawyer, so I've CC'd portmgr for feedback. The alternative is either to go by that README, or to RESTRICT the port or = set another proper closed source license which also requires further modificati= on of the Makefile as explained in section 6.4 of the Porter's Handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-restrictions.= html which tbh I don't know is something you can do with a patch or a committer = has to. As long as this issue is brought to committer's attention, hence my ask= ing as a triager. Removing LICENSE imho would be at best an omission, and at worst put FreeBSD (users) in violation of a proprietary license. The developer really made things confusing. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
