Description Florian Westphal 2007-07-04 18:09:58 UTC

pdflib license as suggested by ebuild: Aladdin
real pdflib license:
http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/license/PDFlib-Lite-license.pdf
(or see readme.txt included in source)


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Sebastian Siewior 2007-07-04 20:56:46 UTC

ACK
The license seems to have changed from ver 4 to 5. It maybe nice to get a version 4 release in portage due to point 2 in the license agreement. However I don't know if [gnuplot,...] will work with this version of pdflib.
