No, 3-clause BSD license is compatible with GPLv3 [1] (you can follow
multiple arrows on that figure). You can combine BSD-licensed code with
GPLv3-licensed code and either use it privately or redistribute it under
GPLv3. Pretty much the same as with GPLv2.

This actually implies that the packages and possibly the patches in GPL
ports are covered by GPL too... hence the "legal decision" I guess. OK.

[1] 4-clause BSD is incompatible with both GPLv2 and GPLv3.

Adding to this bundle of madness...

I believe that it would be best practice to keep ports/LEGAL up-to-date
with this list.

Those who already have ports on a machine may find it more usefull to
find them there.

Quoting ports/LEGAL:
"Some of the ports in this directory have restrictive copyrights" and
GPLv3 I believe certainly would fall under that category.

Feel free to start list here:

Dist Port Why
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gcc-*-4.2-*.tar.bz2 lang/gcc42 GPLv3
gcc-*-4.3-*.tar.bz2 lang/gcc43 GPLv3
gcc-*-4.4-*.tar.bz2 lang/gcc44 GPLv3
gcc-*-4.5-*.tar.bz2 lang/gcc45 GPLv3

To cut all these discussions short:

George,

I'll ask you as the first author of said page,

- what was the concern or motivation that led to the creation of this page?

- How are FreeBSD ports special if they use GPLv3?

- Why does FreeBSD need to track GPLv3 ports at all?

Thanks.
Matthias
