In my country, for instance, computer programs are considered intellectual property but they are also subjected to author rights, just like books and paintings [1,2] . The term Intellectual Property is essentially an invention of people who wished copyright, patent, and trademark bodies of law were treated more like actual property law. Saying something is intellectual property sure makes it *sound* like violating the relevant law should be called stealing, but it's still not theft under the law (unless you happen to live in some jurisdiction that treats this stuff in a very nonstandard manner -- I can't speak for all jurisdictions, since I know nothing about copyright law in Eritrea, for instance). Not only is copyright not *legally* considered theft, but it is not *practically* equivalent to theft, either. In theft, a person has a thing in his or her possession, and the thief takes it away. There is no thing in a copyright holder's possession that is taken away when copyright is infringed. The common excuse for calling it theft is reference to the copyright holder's profits being stolen, but because those profits do not even exist yet at the time of the copyright infringement, they are not literally being taken away. References (in Portuguese) [1] http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/Leis/L9609.htm [2] http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/Leis/L9610.htm Alas, I do not read Portuguese. Maybe in Portugal the word for theft is defined differently than here, so that it applies not to property per se, but to any illegal act of acquisition; that is not a jurisdiction whose copyright laws are familiar to me. I rather doubt it, though, because a legal definition of theft that is applicable to copyright would fail to account for actual theft of actual property of naturally limited abundance. Given an example with which I am more familiar (the United States), though, I cite Dowling v. US: The infringer invades a statutorily defined province guaranteed to the copyright holder alone. But he does not assume physical control over the copyright; nor does he wholly deprive its owner of its use. Dowling v. US specfically set forth for those who wished to define bootleg recordings as stolen property the details for why this was not an appropriate definition, and rejected outright and in all its particulars the concept that copyright infringement is theft in any legal sense of the term. The reasoning is summed up in the above two-sentence quote from the Dowling v. US decision. The economic principle that differentiates copyright infringement from property theft is that of rivalry. A rival good is one whose use by one consumer prevents the use by another, whereas a nonrival good is one whose use by one consumer does not interfere with the use by another. Copyright infringement is illegal acquisition, by a consumer, of a nonrival good; property theft is illegal acquisition, by a consumer, of a rival good. Copyright violation does not deprive anyone else of the opportunity to acquire or use the good in question, whereas property theft *does*, accounting for the differences of legal status for acquisition between rival and nonrival goods. Thomas Jefferson, in discussions of the idea of copyright and patent law before such were even included in the US Constitution, made this distinction as well: He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpPf5y4U19ZR.pgp Description: PGP signature

From the earlier mails with the author and reading the new license, which is LGPL with, in legal terms, vaguely defined exceptions, we as the FreeBSD project have to err on the safe side and not add this software again unless the author explicitly and publicly retracts his earlier legal threats.

Well I think you decision is already take so I'm not going argue with you. Just little information : As I understand Tuomo Valkonen as stop the developement of this software. Here is what he say : «I have recently given up on the failure known as Linux, and switched to Windows. As I thus probably won't be working much on Ion3 anymore, and since it seems very stable anyway, the 28-day clause in the license should serve little practical purpose anymore. It has therefore been lifted.» -- http://www.modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/news.html Anyway if you don't want that ports I can understand easily why. That make me sad, but thanks to Dmitry I can use ion-3 and because ion-3 not going to evolve I'm going to keep that «pseudo-ports» in some «safe»-place.
