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. -- GAGNON serge PGP KEY-ID: 0xBBC1478F PGP Fingerprint: B48B 4633 28F5 28F6 7A62 5650 69C8 E293 BBC1 478F PPG Key: http://quenix2.dyndns.org:7777 | telnet quenix2.dyndns.org 7777
