I am curious about if FreeBSD has a policy on licenses for patches added
to ports?
I am looking through the FreeBSD Porter's handbook and don't see anything
mentioned yet.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/slow-patch.html
doesn't mention licensing.
The port where I have heard complaints about is the added copyright to
ports/audio/cdparanoia
Any comments? Any policy?
One idea would be that anything added to FreeBSD ports files patches should
need to be under the same original license. But I understand there could
be exceptions.
Mostly I am just curious.
