1) We do not have a standard BSD or GPL license. How hard would it be for us to add a term to base/LICENSE that requires any sites attempting to reproduce or mirror information from our site or repository to place a banner a the top of each page indicating that it is duplicating information from our site.
In terms of intellectual property, this is more an issue of trademark than of copyright--the brand identity of MacPorts/DarwinPorts instead of complying with the licensing terms of the source code. These are not contradictory--the Mozilla Foundation places extensive restrictions on how the Firefox and Mozilla trademarks can be used, even with an open-source license. Of course, to assert a trademark, there needs to be some legal entity set up to do so. Trademark registration is not required to assert the trademark use, although it makes things easier. For an example of how to do this, see this link: http://fink.sourceforge.net/legal.php - -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFqmLeEsLm8HXyq4sRAoDCAJ9qNiCJongpmH32rvLs3OTQ2wV4+ACfa0Ap YLeq1DmOIZUcVJ7hLQZ8hTU= =JQIY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
