Although I did not claim it was free for general use. It used to be free to distribute in binary form as long as it was = accompanied by certain required documents. And redistribution is all the project = needs to care about. Or am I mistaken in this regard? Anyway - I just fetched the current source and the license included is = vastly different from the one I investigated in 2020. At that time pdflib-lite = included the document PDFlib-Lite-license.pdf from which I quote: ---------- 3 Redistribution Redistribution in binary or source form by a commercial organization to = any third party are permitted provided that all of the following = conditions are met. Redistributing the program under these condi- tions = does not necessarily give the recipient the right to use the program; = using the program is always subject to the conditions in section 2. [...] 3.3 Binary Redistribution Redistributions in binary (compiled) form must include this license, the = documentation, and program- ming samples. Not all programming samples = must be included, but only the samples for program- ming languages which = are actually supported by the binary distribution. As an alternative to = including the documentation in a binary distribution, the documentation = may also be made available separately for free download on the Internet = in unmodified form. This =C2=BBdownload=C2=AB exception does not apply = to other files which are part of the original distribution. ---------- I put a copy of that license document here: https://cloud.hausen.com/s/5o77H2mxK6TRKoD I would be very interested to know when the distribution file on the = FreeBSD "distfiles" archive was exchanged, and and why? If I am not completely mistaken about how licenses work any old archive = of the software one might find which contains the license document I cited instead of = the one in the current archive is covered by that older license and by that one alone. You cannot change the license of something you published after the fact, = can you? Kind regards, Patrick -- punkt.de GmbH Patrick M.
