Description Yasuhito FUTATSUKI 2024-01-06 19:38:26 UTC
mail/openarc/Makefile says LICENSE= AGPLv3, but it seems its license is BSD 2-Clause license.

You are correct the openarc project states that it uses the BSD licence terms.

 Further the project, in https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenARC states the BSD licence and the same page states
- that it uses code elements from opendkim also a BSD/Sendmail licence
https://www.freshports.org/search.php?query=opendkim&search=go&num=10&stype=name&method=match&deleted=excludedeleted&start=1&casesensitivity=caseinsensitive
- portions of the code use the Sendmail Open Source License

Refer https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenARC
"A substantial amount of the code here is based on code developed as part of
The OpenDKIM Project, also a TDP activity, which started as a code fork of
version 2.8.3 of the open source "dkim-milter" package developed and
maintained by Sendmail, Inc.  The license used by The OpenDKIM Project is
found in the LICENSE file.  Portions of this project are also covered by the
Sendmail Open Source License, available in this distribution in the file
"LICENSE.Sendmail".  See the copyright notice(s) in each source file to
determine whether or not it is covered by both licenses."

So yes, the AGPLv3 doesn't apply.

Aside: thank-you for pointing this out, as I had NOT used openarc because 
https://www.freshports.org/mail/openarc/ does state that it uses the AGPLv3 licence.
