Author: bapt Date: Thu Nov 12 16:11:37 2020 New Revision: 554970 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/554970 Log: Patents are a complicated topic, and their regulation varies depending on jurisdiction. Patents are not necessarily related to the license and so should not be connected to the license framework. As a project we will officially remove all patent limitations within the ports tree and leave it to the user or consumer to deal with their local legislation to determine if they can use the software without legal restrictions.
