Whether that is more beautiful is no doubt subjective. :-) I think the important thing is to make it easily machine-readable so that an automated binary-building system can know which ports we are allowed to distribute in binary form, while keeping it human readable. Note that no structure is currently imposed on the license field. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
