Thanks for the pointer. I blindly copied PORTVERSION from www/w3c-httpd

This seems to hold for the MIT (library) copyright, but both programs
claim CERN copyright. And that clause seems more liberal. I don't want
to burn my fingers on this though.

Probably not. Although I could do without the gratuitous httpd binary
and libwww... For now I want to drop the new port request and will
reconsider.
Probably the best solutions is to write my own version of these (rather
simple but quite useful) programs from scratch, without the unnecessary
library and copyright burden. This is not high on my todo-list though.
