#37357: erlang: make binary distributable -------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: ciserlohn@… | Owner: bfulgham@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: haspatch | Port: erlang -------------------------+------------------------ Erlang is currently not distributable in binary form: {{{ $ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v erlang dependency 'gdbm' has license 'GPL-3+' which conflicts with license 'MPL' from 'erlang' }}} gdbm is a dependency of perl wich is only needed at build time. Using the 'license_noconflict' (see the attached patch) keyword erlang would be distributable: {{{ $ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v erlang erlang is distributabl }}} Or, as mentioned here http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports- dev/2012-December/021280.html the dependency on perl could be dropped altogether. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37357> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

GPLv3 is probably a problem for distributability of a lot of other perl dependents too. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37357#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
