To clarify, I would like the upstream developers to consider improvements in Gentoo/FreeBSD for inclusion to make collaboration easier. I view the GPL-2 to be an issue, particularly because I had to ask naota for permission to contribute his improvement to an ebuild I wrote to the upstream developers. I do not expect the upstream maintainers to familiarize themselves with the intricacies of what they can take and what they cannot take, so I would prefer to relicense all ebuilds in sys-freebsd/* under the terms of the BSD-2 license. It is much easier to say to the upstream developers that everything in portage's sys-freebsd/* category is available to them under the license that they use than it is expect them to learn a list of rules. --------------enig59EFF14E1B33DAA4EA1AC61C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPdfXwAAoJELFAT5FmjZuEB+oQAJ1QYVlMC5k0W8MzyO0dOlEF 1OK2meOjqRDK2VUOnCIF2hYl1d6yv5lLPSV42tX/T9LVbdMcywmBTOEBdRrAfsuF 79lOJAxWButFBxtXjIUc6Fax+TvXI1xKPv94HnhYaVKAE5Yze86T78CwF+7YtkWO 81e6e97EOxy17oKTu+b8snpmo9DsPf3J1w0SZ1d4kkN6vJ3705iHDTYhr+uLc2We Bc8G3lBClEDvFDCAc0+nWgnOKoOIOr3m/m0vFsAcmv36gIQ9u/B+hdogt52IdWiR SGjaLqJWy+q0dgDZaGX4ngashe/ZZ6gAkZlhjIR5HGY2DBth/11buE/+o3rFjrnt 6gBQH9R+/qSM9IVXTm78GFQL6zCGm7ohNa7601s2AL/0Pjdkk46mRUcjByXGD3v4 6BE4NXVQAEjaUmgNVHt3u66MrY2Y4Axd3tkZR1n75ibkngtLyP5JBN3VU0BNIz2S z2jBC3rW52pKG9RpCYBDWrkCBhhxx/QZ3BREbxynQ3rYEXKHbzh6Div+pX2q1hHl cGgyW0IPvVEVyPPnmHUw0hMZPTsreRtB6q7D3+tNOYVZy0oF9cNgZbj0YHOV7SC9 W+rEh+0gIRMbHbDG1A3MMmWGI072ZIRrkHGYcbAL08/Q4piFSEmktyHzutsUIV7k pDlcDlsSoqh5Ra5ihTQt =+k40 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig59EFF14E1B33DAA4EA1AC61C--
