>Description:

The x11-fonts/freefonts port contains at least one shareware font (Mazama),
and at least one (Shohl-Fold) which may not be distributed or used by for-
profit organizations without the author's explicit permission, yet this fact
is not mentioned in LEGAL, and the name of the port strongly (and incorrectly)
suggests that it consists only of free fonts.

>How-To-Repeat:

# porteasy -abu freefonts
# less /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefonts/mazama.license
# less /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefonts/shf_____.license

>Fix:

Mark the port as encumbered, or remove it from the ports tree.
