<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px">One more update here. I talked briefly about how the Xapian project is GPL due only to it's original GPL status going back to the OpenMuscat project, and mentioned that the current maintainers generally commit under an MIT license:</span><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px">

Just wanted to share, as the aims here are similar to the aims of the BSD projects currently. If they get rid of the GPL code, I would see no reason not to ship xapian in base for searching pkg-ng and ports.</div>
