Dear list, For a port I maintain (namely rubber), there are some patches that upstream has not yet included and are provided by the maintainer of the port for pkgsrc. They are now in macports repository and I wonder which license if any is applied to patches (as Trac.macports.org tells people that what they put here is automatically under the Apache or BSD License). Is there a way to credit the author of a patch and to cite the license they may be under? This problem (but is it a problem?) is, I think, not a rare thing: the work of preparing a program to be part of a ports project is very similar between pkgsrc, openBSD, freeBSD and macports (maybe gentoo and other linux source based packages too) and hence reusing patches from others is highly probable.
