I just saw the license just change maybe now it's possible to put again ion in the ports system ? I would like to help for the ports but as you can see I unable to build for myself. I've seen the license change too. I'm working on the port currently. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amd...@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amd...@jabber.ruhttp://www.amdmi3.ru ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

This repeats what he has previously done to several other BSDs and several Linux distributions. This is why ports for his software are no longer available for these platforms. Whether the license has changed or not, the fact that the author feels the desire to use lawsuits to achieve his goals makes his software too much of a liability for FreeBSD to redistribute. Well we can set RESTRICTED if that's a problem, then we will not be distributing anything. I can mirror a distfile under my personal responsibility. Actually I think that the weirdnesses of an author should not be a reason against using useful software or making it available for use by other people, if there's no real legal threat. They may be a cause for stagnation/death of a project, but that's another story. As another argument, Debian and Ubuntu haven't ever removed packages for ion3, just making a user agree with that the software may be obsolete and unsupported. I believe they know what they're doing. But I'll still mail ahze (who removed the port) and adamw (who maintained it last). -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amd...@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amd...@jabber.ruhttp://www.amdmi3.ru ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

We do not significantly change it, only paches affect the build system, they are required to build (and are expected by the author judging by comments in system.mk), and are not visible for a user. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amd...@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amd...@jabber.ruhttp://www.amdmi3.ru ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

In that discussion, the author was asked if we agree to meet that condition going forward, would you guarantee that this would remove any further legal threat? and he said yes ... for now. But that he reserved the right to change his mind later. *depending* on what we did or did not do in the future -- not just in adhering to the *existing clauses* like the significant clause or renamed clause -- both of which he mentioned would be part of any lawsuit. Legally indefensible? Of course. Would that prevent a lawsuit being filed? No. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. Well, if you insist I of course won't commit it. But the whole thing disappoints me greately, cause I was pretty sure at least FreeBSD developers won't be affected by a mere FUD. Do you honestly think the probability of Tuomo suing us is higher of, say, me suing, well, us? And that anything will change by us not providing a port we have absolutely totally utterly 100% right to provide? That is just silly.
