In pkgsrc, we do not have a LICENSE= statement about MIT Kerberos. I
went to figure out what license applied and found:
In the AES section of NOTICE
The free distribution and use of this software in both source and
binary form is allowed (with or without changes) provided that:
This appears to prohibit distribution for a fee, perhaps even precluding
inclusion on a CDROM sold for $10.
Is that intended?
So this bug report is one of:
Kerberos is non-Free but this is not clearly stated up front as a
summary in NOTICE.
The text in NOTICE about AES isn't right.
something else complicated I didn't express, but that likely others
will get wrong to.
Thanks,
Greg
