[Fink-devel] Question about a licence classification
Hi everyone, I've created a package for the SilverCity, which is used to provide syntax highlighting for Trac (which I've made packages for... and have yet to commit). However, I'm not sure how to classify the licence. The licence is as follows: SilverCity Library License -- Copyright (C) 2002 by Brian Quinlan. All rights reserved.

The manual way is to use diskutil -u disk1 (or whatever /dev entry is used for the cd (use mount to find it) That doesn't work when rippping CDs because xcdroast has to access the CD several times (I did try unmounting the CD manually. All I got was a mess--the Finder and iTunes grabbing the CD each time before I had a chance to unmount it manually, xcdroast aborting, etc.) Also, when xcdroast starts up, you are asked to type in your administrative password to stop a process that doesn't even exist (autodiskmount), which, of course, produces an error. The OS X binary version offered at xcdroast.org is corrected to reflect the change from autodiskmount to diskarbitrationd; I thought that maybe Fink's version should be corrected also in order to have a fully-functional program rather than a partially-functional one. Thanks, Emily -- If it seem slow, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay.

So even though it doesn't mention the BSD license in the license itself, it's alright to classify it as BSD? PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part
