Hi Folks:

Is fink limited only to GPL-type open-source software, or is there an 
interest in other software with a more restrictive license conditions 
(eg, free to academics but not to commercial users)?

The reason I am asking is that I made a set of fink .info files for 
automatically installing this sort of software for the academic 
community that needs software for determining, analyzing and viewing 
macromolecular structures.  My hope is to automate the update process 
so that I (and others) can spend more time doing science and less 
doing OS X system administration.

Thanks, and sorry if I just managed to miss something in the 
documentation.

It should be fine as long as you do License: Restrictive in the .info files.
