Besides the license agreements, OP's problem was that he could not
download the patches (unavailable from ports tree BTW) w/o first
removing proxy software.

There is no mention about not using a proxy to download the patches
(at least it not in jdk13 port when i last built it).  One have/had
to learn about that fact by tiresome & frustrating tweaking.  I was
in the same boat when i tried downloading the patches very first
time.

An up to date ports tree cannot help there.  Otherwise, i agree w/
you, Christopher.
