 == GPL (Must Distribute Source Code) ==
 The GNU [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html General Public License] has two important aspects: distribution and use.
 
-The GPL requires that source code is available from the same place as the binary, which is presently handled by MacPorts since it provides binaries by building them from the source (by default).  In the future, it may become necessary to download both a binary and source code for ports using this license or to have the source code bundled with the archive of the binary.

 The license further stipulates that the library generated from the code can only be used in free projects.  Since MacPorts only handles open-source software, this aspect is not a problem.

 == Restrictive/Distributable ==
 For restrictive licenses which permit distribution of source and binaries. Use this for packages that are available from the author in source form, permit distribution of source and binaries, but have restrictions which make them non-open source licenses.
 == /GFDL and /LDP ==
-GNU Free Documentation License and Linux Documentation Project - if the documentation included in a package is explicitly included under one of the licenses, then this is indicated by appending /GFDL or /LDP, giving one of the allowed combinations: "GFDL", "GPL/GFDL", "LGPL/GFDL", "GPL/LGPL/GFDL", "LDP", or "GPL/LGPL/LDP".
+The GNU [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/#FDL Free Documentation License] and [http://wiki.tldp.org/LdpWikiDefaultLicence Linux Documentation Project] suffixes are used if the documentation included in a package is explicitly included under one of the licenses.
