There are a number of ways to fix this.  Probably the easiest
is to require the user fetch the distfile manually, that way
we remain clean regardless of what IBM does with their license.
Two examples of how this is done are ports/security/bro and
ports/security/fwtk.  Marking it RESTRICTED at least for now
wouldn't hurt either.
