Oh, I didn't realize your complaint wasn't with the software but with its license agreement. I admit I haven't read it all that carefully. What's its URL again? Where can I read it? I can try to read it again and see if I understand it and if it really means what you think it means, but I don't think Apple has any intention of randomly entering the homes of everyday Mac users who just want to compile some software. I mean they even include Xcode in the box with every Mac you buy; I don't think every Mac user is required to agree to this agreement just by virtue of having bought a Mac. Not that such license agreements are even enforceable anyway, as far as I know. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
