I intend to update my databases/mdbtools port and add a new databases/libmswstr [1] port as a dependency. This new port should allow mdbtools to use indexes of databases in JET4 format.
[1] https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27955 The author of libmswstr [2] did not include a license [3] with his Github project. [2] https://github.com/leecher1337/libmswstr [3] https://github.com/leecher1337/libmswstr/blob/master/COPYING It is not clear to me whether the reverse-engineered data and structures of libmswstr violate license terms and should therefore not be included as a port in FreeBSD. Personally, I think that this form of reverse engineering also happens in many other projects and therefore no legal problems are to be expected. Are there any ideas or statements on this in the community? Thanks in advance.
