The maintainer resigned, but updated to 6.0 because there were no =
distfiles,
and the code seemed to be gone for 5.3 is now on GitHub:

https://github.com/sindremehus/subsonic

I don't know whether 6.0 is quintessential, but from a pure license =
perspective
it seems odd that everyone now has to use a proprietary license with no =
options
given even though we still have the original 5.3 *and* a fork which =
could very
well gain traction of a port was added as an alternative.

Just for the record, I know this takes work.  Not asking for it to be =
done,
simply wondering why this happened the way it did.


Cheers,
