It's absolutely a shame that couldn't be done, but he demanded that the
port be fixed prior to release.  Without a fix to hand, the only way to
guarantee that FreeBSD wouldn't be in violation of the license agreement
was to pull the port.

Generate a patch and submit it.  I'm sure the port will be reinstated as
soon as somebody does so.
