As a general rule, if stuff is usable, it can be in the ports tree. Stuff we do not want:
- evil licences and confusing licences. For instance, all of Mr. Bernstein's software is basically published under a licence we cannot use. No real included licence, fuzzy status, and not really allowed to distribute modified packages. - security holes waiting to happen. That's what happened to ethereal. I have on my todo list to check on the newer version, see whether it's any better. - stuff that takes too long to maintain compared to our goals. Apart from that, most things are free game. We will also tend to drop non-maintained stuff. A port that is just gathering dust, with no maintainer, no user manifesting themselves, and that needs some maintenance to keep up with the framework, will soon be annoying. But apart from that, most stuff is fair game.
