Comment (by chrstphrchvz):
Many Linux and BSD package managers offer binaries of ghostscript AGPL
linked to libpaper. I think it would be useful to elaborate why MacPorts
cannot also do so. My guess is that it resembles the OpenSSL pre-3.0
situation where a library has to be considered “part of the OS” (which
MacPorts is not) for binary distribution of packages with incompatible
licenses to be allowed.
