Are port maintainers aware of this?

Pretty sleazy if you ask me. Charge the students tuition to
develop it, then charge the public outrageous prices to use it.
(Probably after getting big grants to develop it...)

While clearly stating in the LICENSE that you cannot expect
support and they take no responsibility for bugs.

   Glad you're interested, but I do need a little more information.  First,
let me tell you about the standard Glimpse licenses:
    We have several basic arrangements:  1) is a single-site WebServer
license where Glimpse is used as the search engine for the site, which is
accessed either publicly or privately, Internet or Intranet.  This is
available for $1000 ($500 for companies with less than 20 people).  2) is
for ISP's who are developing personal home pages for their customers and
want to supply Glimpse as part of the software package.  For this
application, we have a progressive rate starting at $2500 for 100 copies of
Glimpse.  3) is for situations which involve virtual servers or web hosting,
which typically involves a single copy of Glimpse being made available to a
plurality of clients; clients or customers here mean a small business, less
than 500 employees, using the standard federal definition for small
entities.  The rate here is similar to above, starting at $2500 for 100
"small business" clients.  
    Other applications of Glimpse (e.g., multiple copies for commercial
purposes or resale; Webhosting of large companies; etc.) require special
licensing arrangements.  When possible, we prefer that you mention Glimpse
on the search page, with a hyperlink to the Glimpse homepage.
    I presume you're interested in License model 1.  Are you a small or
large company?  If you're interested, give me a little more info on your
needs, and I can send you (email/fax/mail) a copy of the appropriate license.
