Then whence the source tree with the entirely different license you linked to?
I did a `make fetch extract` with a ports tree just checked our from HEAD and
I found the "new" license. So someone must have replaced the archive?

I am not running joomla at all. We simply provide print/pecl-pdflib in our hosting
environment by default so when the `RESTRICTED` clause was introduced
into the Makefile of print/pdflib, I researched the license, came to the conclusion
that we can provide that software, if we tell the customer that they need a commercial
license, if they actually use it in production.

I tried to get into contact with Alex Dupre about this but he did not answer my mail.

Eventually we just set:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*print/pecl-pdflib*}
    _LICENSE_STATUS=accepted
.endif

in our poudriere.


And now I was triggered by the discussion. The license does permit binary distribution.
The necessary documents are included in the package. So if you just add a pkg-message
that hints at the docs, all should be well, IMHO - but that's not mine to decide.
