>Environment:
>Description:

nntpcache as installed from the port is commercial software and must be
licensed if used by commercial organizations.  This distinction is not
made clear during the make/install process.  The Makefile should be
updated to indicate this fact, similar to the way Makefiles for other
ports (net/dgd-net, news/dnews, print/acroread, www/aswedit) do.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install nntpcache, run it for a while, get notified by proff@iq.org that
you are probably violating the license.

>Fix:
	
Add something like this to the Makefile:

post-install:
        @${ECHO_MSG} "*** This software is NOT free, please read the"
	@${ECHO_MSG} "*** file ${PREFIX}/share/doc/nntpcache/LICENSING"
        @${ECHO_MSG} "*** for details."
