My real sympathy is with open-source programs. ;-) Hi Will, David. Maybe I was unclear, so please let me rephrase: look at the sections in /COPYRIGHT and in the PBS license (at http://pbs.mrj.com/license.php3\?site_id=anyone ) that start with "Redistribution". See how they just changed the names and changed the numbers to <li> tags? It's a "copy center" license. :-) Users might want to give their personal information to MRJ, but the license doesn't require it. -- Trevor Johnson http://jpj.net/~trevor/gpgkey.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
