Well, my view is that if we are asked to remove a port, and the license
is not crystal-clear (which, from reading the source, it was not), then
we are obligated to do so.

Note: I'm not really happy with this development -- perhaps someone
else can arrange to take it over -- but from my reading of the email
response from the author, this was our only course of action.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
