Adding to the previous mail on how a FreeBSD port might be used to install this binary package: Be sure to be allowed to re-package the binary distribution that you want to use in this port. The license may explicitly forbid the distribution of derived works of any kind. Do also set the LICENSE and specifically the LICENSE_PERMS variable in the port's Makefile to indicate whether the FreeBSD package that will be built from this port may be created, distributed, possibly also sold.
