So, the assumption is that FreeBSD will only be allowed to use the BSD license if it removes the current version of lpr and changes lprNG from a port to an integral part of the distributed system?
No, that's not the assumption. I'm just countering your argument that the version imported would be _less_ "free" or "flexible" or something than the version in the ports.
Just as an aside, I think we're a bit out-of-sync here. I have not made any assertions about lprNG being free or flexible (or not-free or not-flexible). About all I've said recently in this discussion was that I wanted someone to clarify the licensing issues that BSD/OS had for lprNG, and what that implies for licensing under freebsd.
In the message you replied to, I was again just asking for a better understanding of the licensing. Your comment (the part I quoted), states that the 'package in ports' is (and thus always will be) under Artistic/GPL license. I was just underlining that statement, to see if the implication of "always will be" is true. Ie, is it true that FreeBSD will NOT get a BSD+keep-copyright license for lprNG if we leave lprNG as a port?
That is just a question. It is not an argument.
