arc-521e.ebuild (New Package)
Sorry, we can't accept this ebuild. The license for ARC makes it impossible to distribute ARC in any way. *** Bug 6554 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** From Arc521.doc: ARC is user supported software. This means that you may copy it freely and give the copies away to anyone you wish, at no cost. They are in turn requested to send in a contribution if they decide to use it. The user supported software concept (often referred to as "shareware") is an attempt to provide software at low cost. The cost of offering a new product by conventional means is staggering, and hence dissuades many independent authors and small companies from developing and promoting their ideas. User supported software is an attempt to develop a new marketing channel, where products can be introduced at low cost. I must have totally misunderstood the license when I first checked this package. Ebuild commited, thanks for the contribution! |
