I don't think that Fink imposes to have one license. "OSI-approved" would cover all those you mentioned. Maybe even "GPL/BSD/MIT" would be possible. Soem gnome stuff has "GPL/LGPL/GFDL", for example. If you are sure that your GPL-covered parts allow you to keep those other licenses for other parts, this should be fine with Fink. Just install all the licenses with the package, for example into the appropriate /sw/share/doc/* directory via the DocFiles field. You are certainly aware of the fact that at least the GPL requires you to release sources as soon as you distribute binaries? -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
