Hi Pierre,
thanks for bringing this up here: Mr. Valkonen's license is absolutely unbearable. As an alternative: Perhaps you can bring the port back to the last sane licensed version - don't know if this is useful and/or possible. Either that or remove it please.

I say we remove it, the author's request of reviewing every patch that is applied to his software and that the distributed version is no longer than 28 days old (qualms that were both raised by FreeBSD ports maintainers) are just not sustainable without placing considerable stress on our maintainers and the project as a whole... and this whole thing about open source is supposed to be about volunteering and cooperating, not *demanding*. Not just my thoughts, but actually my vote as PortMgr. Regards,... -jmpp
