I may not be the proper person to answer this, but:

1.  you can put your software under what license you want, as
long as no other copyright issues occur (ie, you're not making
an product based on a other one which has different license terms).
That is, you are free to use a BSD-style license (and ever encouraged
to do so).

2. this is a free list; as long as it is not spam, you are free
to post whatever you want.  Anyway, this is "-questions", and
other lists may be more appropriate for this kind of announcements
(like ports@freebsd.org, for example).

Event better, see http://www.freebsd.org/porters-handbook/ - this
may clarify some aspects.
