I'm reading the package as saying we can't distribute patches for it, since MacPorts is not a registered non-profit entity, and the commercial version of the license forbids that. I would ask the CMBI if they would be willing to relicense the work with a GPL license or give us the exception to distribute any patches that are required to make it build within MacPorts.

What are the rules on macPorts packages with respect to the original licenses? Is it ok to create a package for software with the following license? http://www.cmbi.ru.nl/molden/CopyRight.html

I would obviously add this information to the long description, but I am not really sure how to deal with this in general?
