The LEGAL file is for a broader set of things than just RESTRICTED. It covers "no commercial use" which is NO_CDROM but not RESTRICTED and it covers "normally something else, but we have special permission to use the GPLv3". We have no way to express the latter in ports in a usable manner. > For particular licenses we already have a controversial LICENSE framework. I have no comment on the framework. It has many issues, but is not related to this discussion. -- Eitan Adler _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
