Perhaps; this is why I rescinded my offer to do all the legwork and take
on the burden of maintaining the port :-)
Seriously, I believe GLOBAL and FreeBSD would _both_ be better served
by having it installed from ports anyway. Note that gozilla isn't even
installed by the version in /usr/src, owing to its need for things
coming from ports (X, Netscape).

But not nearly as taken aback as I was that a BSD package is going
GPL.
