--0000000000003eefcd0604b4530c Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Don't we have some distfile knobs in the ports framework for exactly this situation? Like on "make" the port informing the user that they need to download the distfile manually for license reasons and place it into /usr/ports/distfiles? That would imply no package from the FreeBSD project but people could still build their own in poudriere. Also possibly - maybe just ask the author if sufficiently clear pkg_message would be considered sufficient? ... Good idea. I will email Eran and see if he responds.
