What is the "license issue" please? While I can understand that there may be preference in keeping MacPorts as solely a BSD license, that is an "issue" but not a "license issue" per se (i.e. there is nothing in the licensing that prevents a *BSD program linking a LGPL library.) Is the "issue" solely that MacPorts has chosen to be "BSD only"? Or is there some legal incompatibility? 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
