--- Comment #8 from Vladimir Krstulja <vlad-fbsd@acheronmedia.com> ---
Personally, I'd request clarification from the developer and ask proper lic=
ense
be set in the upstream tarballs for 6.0+.

One could argue that GPL license requires it to accompany the software in
question, so the presence of that README then makes it GPL'd, regardless of
developer's intentions and statements on his forum. However, I think GPL
requires the full license text be present, so maybe that's really not prope=
rly
licensed...

But I'm not a lawyer, so I've CC'd portmgr for feedback.

The alternative is either to go by that README, or to RESTRICT the port or =
set
another proper closed source license which also requires further modificati=
on
of the Makefile as explained in section 6.4 of the Porter's Handbook:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/porting-restrictions.=
html

which tbh I don't know is something you can do with a patch or a committer =
has
to. As long as this issue is brought to committer's attention, hence my ask=
ing
as a triager.

Removing LICENSE imho would be at best an omission, and at worst put FreeBSD
(users) in violation of a proprietary license.

The developer really made things confusing.
