Description Nils Andresen 2004-06-24 04:07:17 UTC
I wrote two ebuilds for XML-Buddy (plugin for eclipse).
they are no-source-ebuilds so one has to download the xmlbuddy.zip at 
http://xmlbuddy.com/ (only the non-pro-Version is free of Charge.)
The ebuilds are slotted, Version 2.0.9 is for eclipse-sdk-2.1 and Version 2.0.10 is for eclipse-sdk-3

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

There are two passages in the license that prohibits us from including this in Gentoo:

"Bocaloco is only willing to grant you this License if you obtained the
Product from Bocaloco or a Bocaloco authorized reseller. If you obtained
the Product from any other source you may not install or use the Product."

Which means we cannot mirror it, and that's a real maintenance nightmare
for us. We do not have the extra capacity to maintain such eclipse packages
at this time.

"You may not: (a) modify, adapt, alter, translate, or create derivative
works of the Product or merge the Product with other software other than
as described in the Product's accompanying documentation or as approved of
in writing by Bocaloco;"

The way I read this, is that we need to obtain permission from Bocaloco to
include this in a pre-packaged form in Gentoo.

If the license ever changes to allow us free redistribution, I'll accept and
include it.

I do however, thank you for your ebuild contribution. We thrive on user
contributions and input. I'm sorry that we had to turn this particular ebuild
down due to restrictive licenses:/
