Comment (by RivetBenoit):
It would be nice if Macports could provide a precompiled version of gd2.
In https://trac.macports.org/ticket/71004 ryandesign claims that
In the case of gd2, precompiled packages are not available because the
license
does not allow us to distribute them.
However, https://libgd.github.io/manuals/2.3.0/files/license-txt.html
reads
**Credits and license terms**
In order to resolve any possible confusion regarding the authorship of
gd, the following copyright statement covers all of the authors who have
required such a statement. If you are aware of any oversights in this
copyright notice, please contact Pierre-A. Joye who will be pleased to
correct them.
(...)
**Permission has been granted to copy, distribute and modify gd in any
context without fee**, including a commercial application, provided that
this notice is present in user-accessible supporting documentation.
(...)
I don't understand why this prevents Macports to distribute precompiled
packages (but I may have missed something in the license terms).
