# RESTRICTED - Prevent the distribution of distfiles and

When i read the LICENSE for the first time, i understood that a FreeBSD
package couldn't not be redistributed because of the license in
fonts/lucida.
"No right is granted to create derivative works of or
to redistribute (other than with the Plan 9 Operating System)"
Plan9port is not an operating system itself, then it couldn't be
redistributed as a FreeBSD package. This is how i understood this line.
Sometimes, license are hard to understand especially for someone who
doesn't speak english.
I apologize if i have made a mistake. Just tell me if it is the case
and i'll remove the 'RESTRICTED' line.
