I'm working on a port for H-Inventory (a computer inventory/resource management tool). By default, it installs a copy of the GPL. According to the Porter's Handbook, a port should avoid installing copies of the GPL. Whilst it's fairly easy to adapt the port so it doesn't install the license file, the installed web pages include at least one hyperlink to the file (I haven't done a complete check).
What is the preferred mechanism for handling this? - Ignore the Porter's Handbook and install the file anyway - Create a symlink to an existing copy of the GPL. (In which case, where do I find a GPL that will always exist) - Change the hyperlink to point to a copy of the GPL on the Internet - something else. -- Peter Jeremy
