Comment(by ryandesign@…):
My concern with the patchfile was not licensing (though that's a
reasonable concern too), but rather that we generally want to provide the
same software the developer provided. If the software the developer
provided does not work (either at all or specifically on the Mac) and
patches are needed, we would of course want those patches sent back to the
developer for incorporation into the next version; I wanted to know
whether that was the case here. Or sometimes the developer will already
have fixed some problem in their repository, and we will want to take that
fix as a patchfile before the next version is ready.
With third-party modifications that are not incorporated upstream, we
would want to fully understand why upstream has not incorporated that code
before considering including it in MacPorts.
