X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2007 17:36:41 -0000 My company develops software under a commercial "open source" (see links for details) and I want to know if my license is close enough to open source (see links for why it is not 100% OSD compliant [it is 95% compliant]). Specifically does the business model as outlined in my blog (the third installment should be out later today), my business model page, the third party certifier and license allow for inclusion in the ports collection. Keep in mind that the source is available to anyone but execution is conditioned on attachment A of the license and after the trial period (30 days) is paid for software.
