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).
