Then whence the source tree with the entirely different license you linked to? I did a `make fetch extract` with a ports tree just checked our from HEAD and I found the "new" license. So someone must have replaced the archive? > There are two ways around this if you want joomla3 packaged: > > - Negotiate with PDFlib GmbH (you might be better at German than me...) to > allow for commercial use of pdflib (unlikely) > > - Stop joomla3 depending on PDFlib by default. > > Does it work without PDFlib? If so, I suggest the latter, and that's easy to > do. I am not running joomla at all. We simply provide print/pecl-pdflib in our hosting environment by default so when the `RESTRICTED` clause was introduced into the Makefile of print/pdflib, I researched the license, came to the conclusion that we can provide that software, if we tell the customer that they need a commercial license, if they actually use it in production. I tried to get into contact with Alex Dupre about this but he did not answer my mail. Eventually we just set: .if ${.CURDIR:M*print/pecl-pdflib*} _LICENSE_STATUS=accepted .endif in our poudriere. And now I was triggered by the discussion. The license does permit binary distribution. The necessary documents are included in the package. So if you just add a pkg-message that hints at the docs, all should be well, IMHO - but that's not mine to decide. Patrick -- punkt.de GmbH Patrick M.
