So what? You know, English is not my mother tongue, and I'm not a lawyer :-),
but from what my eyes see I understand that you cannot install the program on
more than one computer (and this is definitely not a port issue) and that you
cannot distribute the tarball (and the port is marked restricted, so nobody
making a release will include it into the release itself).

Moreover, they state that you cannot install on more than one computer, but say
anything about using on 2, 3, 4 or one hundred computers. In any case I don't
think they would prevent you from using their software from more than one
computer, one a time.

Last but not least, they do not speak about multi user installation (that's
what the port does).

My apologies to the freebsd-java subscriptors for this O.T. Follow ups to
freebsd-ports or to private email. Tnx.

P.S.: the port will surely not be commited now, due to the port tree being
frozen for the 2.2.6 release.
