That may be because typical verbal agreements are difficult to prove. However, a statement on, say, a public mailing list is more provable. Of course, there's the question whether the message was really written by the person the message claims to be from. This situation could be improved by the person in question having a habit of signing messages (or, say, the software releases themselves) with PGP. Of course, that's not 100% reliable, but neither are ink-on-paper signatures. -- Tuomo _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
