#48551: Update par to include support for UTF-8 ------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: casr+macports@… | Owner: qbarnes@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: par | ------------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by casr+macports@…): Replying to [comment:8 qbarnes@…]:
As for the license, the author of par has never specified a license that I am aware of.
This is what I thought as well so I contacted the author over email. He had specified it in a slightly unusual place and he's now pointed me in the right direction. From http://www.nicemice.net/par/par-doc.var :
Rights and Responsibilities
The files listed in the Files List section above are each Copyright 2001 by Adam M. Costello (henceforth "I", "me").
I grant everyone ("you") permission to do whatever you like with these files, provided that if you modify them you take reasonable steps to avoid confusing or misleading people about who wrote the modified files (both you and I) or what version they are. All official versions of Par will have version numbers consisting of only digits and periods.
I encourage you to send me copies of your modifications in case I wish to incorporate them into future versions of Par. See the Bugs section for my address.
Though I have tried to make sure that Par is free of bugs, I make no guarantees about its soundness. Therefore, I am not responsible for any damage resulting from the use of these files.
I do not know how to specify such a licence within the realm of Macports, however... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48551#comment:9> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
