Hello!

Dear NetBSD team, and users,


I would like to ask you whether it could be a good improvement to assign a
notice, whenever "make install" actually installs a binary software.

These notices are mentioned in software licence mostly, but i would prefer a
notice stating that ie; "please be aware of that you are now installing
binary version of the software".


For example, if you would like to install kmplayer software, it actually
requires mplayer and then win-codecs too. It asks for mplayer and win-codecs
license, but a user is not aware of that accpeting the license simply means
building abinary package.

Opera is another good example. We ALL know, it has closed source, but please
check opera license that it says " etc etc etc and you are accepting Opera
etc etc" but it does not clearly states it is binary software.


Regards,
