I don't think it is right. By removing NO_PACKAGE you allow ftp distribution of the resulting package. I'm really not sure that the licence allows this. Please verify and adjust if necessary. We really don't want to be sued by M$. I'm not a lawyer, but the following clause from the licence rings a bell to me: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/eula.htm "Restrictions on Alteration. You may not rename, edit or create any derivative works from the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, other than subsetting when embedding them in documents." Following is relevant clause from the Porter's Handbook: If the resulting package needs to be built uniquely for each site, or the resulting binary package cannot be distributed due to licensing; set the variable NO_PACKAGE to a string describing the reason why. We will make sure such packages will not go on the ftp site, nor into the CD-ROM come release time. The distfile will still be included on both however. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
