The latter is not an option. >From my reading they have two licenses for plugins: GPL and this ... "special" ... license. We (the project) need to change the following things on the latter ones: - The ports should be marked RESTRICTED; - The MASTER_SITES should be blank; - IGNORE needs to be set using similiar technology as in e.g. databases/msql Udo, please let us (portmgr@) know if this is something that you can take care of in a timely fashion, otherwise, we will look at it ourselves. To reiterate: the project cannot be in a position to ignore copyright and redistribution terms that software authors impose, no matter what our own feelings about those terms or the pre-existing status quo. mcl, with portmgr hat on
