Then whence the source tree with the entirely different license you linked to?
I did a `make fetch extract` with a ports tree just checked our from HEAD and
I found the "new" license. So someone must have replaced the archive?

I am not running joomla at all. We simply provide print/pecl-pdflib in our
hosting
environment by default so when the `RESTRICTED` clause was introduced
into the Makefile of print/pdflib, I researched the license, came to the
conclusion
that we can provide that software, if we tell the customer that they need a
commercial
license, if they actually use it in production.
I tried to get into contact with Alex Dupre about this but he did not answer my
mail.
Eventually we just set:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*print/pecl-pdflib*}
_LICENSE_STATUS=accepted
.endif
in our poudriere.
And now I was triggered by the discussion. The license does permit binary
distribution.
The necessary documents are included in the package. So if you just add a
pkg-message
that hints at the docs, all should be well, IMHO - but that's not mine to
decide.
