[edit] Desktop
BSD style desktops/window managers with BSD/MIT/ISC/Apache compatible licenses. Primary dependencies are BSD based.
- x11-wm/ctwm twm extension
- x11-wm/cwm Calm Window Manager is OpenBSD's default window manager
- x11-wm/dwm uses c programming language for custom desktop configuration
- x11-wm/fluxbox is based on x11-wm/blackbox which was developed for FreeBSD
- x11-wm/matwm2
- x11-wm/mcwm based on ctwm, evilwm, tinywm
- x11-wm/spectrwm tiling window manager. based on dwm and xmonad
- x11-wm/wmfs floating and tile window manager
- x11-wm/wmii
- x11/lumina desktop built for FreeBSD, it uses fluxbox and relies on the qt toolkit
[edit] Ports management
Port management programs with minimal dependencies and MIT/BSD style licenses.
- ports-mgmt/pchecker - checks the ports tree for errors
- ports-mgmt/portfind - search for ports. portfind relies on perl.
- ports-mgmt/portmaster - upgrade ports. portmaster has no dependencies
- ports-mgmt/portsearch - search for ports. has no dependencies.
