: Huh?  Isn't the ports tree BSD-licensed?

I keep seeing snapshots and build.  I still don't know if this
distributes sources or binaries.  My concern was if it distributed
binaries.

The tree itself has no license, but is presuemed to be BSD-license.
The actual binaries built from the tree, however, have a zillion
different licenses...
