I'd be interested in the policy about new ports in the following situation: The program has the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. The program is not in the FreeBSD ports system but can be compiled on FreeBSD without problems with approx. 5 commands. And because of that the author may not want his program in the ports collection. So will the program be added even if the author may disagree with that? Regards, atz
