Are you sure that this will not raise any legal issues? Sometimes, the
conditions you have to accept for software, that needs to be manually
fetched, are rather restrictive.

Of course, in practice, nobody will go through the fetch procedure N
times for her/his N machines, but I am not sure about the legal
consequences if such a feature were built into FreeBSD's ports collection.
