#25914: truecrypt 7.0 request to add port --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nonstop.server@… | Owner: l2g@… Type: request | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: crypto security | Port: truecrypt --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by dports@…): * cc: dports@… (added) Comment: I would tread very carefully here. TrueCrypt is distributed under a questionable license. It's previously been described as [http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/distributions/2008-October/000273.html truly horrifying] ([http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/distributions/2008-October/000276.html more details]). Note that that was a previous version of the license; it's been revised since then and may be less objectionable. But we will need to take a close look at it to see if we can mirror the distfile and/or distribute binaries. Normally, not being able to do either wouldn't be a showstopper, but it might be a more serious problem here since we're talking about needing to set up a distfile mirror just to download the thing. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/25914#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
