Well, if you insist I of course won't commit it. But the whole thing
disappoints me greately, cause I was pretty sure at least FreeBSD
developers won't be affected by a mere FUD. Do you honestly think
the probability of Tuomo suing us is higher of, say, me suing, well,
us?  And that anything will change by us not providing a port we
have absolutely totally utterly 100% right to provide?  That is
just silly.

The port from now on is available here (removed from people.freebsd.org):
