Hi;

I just tried the above mentioned port, that we have labelled as restricted, and
in the documentation file installed, and indeed in the website, it's clearly
stated:

ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive/linux/2004/readme_mgadriver_4_1.txt

"Due to certain legal liabilities and for the protection of 
intellectual property, Matrox reserves licensing rights to the 
library and prohibits reverse engineering but allows free 
distribution under any operating system. Matrox encourages members 
of the open source community to freely distribute and assist in 
the further development of this driver."

There's also an mgadriver-4.1-1-src.tar.gz that someone should hack, but for
the time being it would be really nice to remove RESTRICTED for this port.

cheers,

    Pedro.
