Permission is only granted "for research and educational purpose and without fee". I'm not too sure how it should be set for ftp etc but this definitely doesn't allow inclusion on a sold CD. > > Apart from that: > any comments on the port itself? It should be CONFIGURE_STYLE=gnu (I noticed because it used gmkdir to attempt installing a directory), and NO_TEST=Yes should be removed (it is meant for ports which fail if you try to run a test, rather than those which don't have a test but don't fail). Apart from that and the license marker issue it looks good to me.
