Right, there's no violation when a user downloads the files from the
master sites and installs them (this can still be done if the port is
marked RESTRICTED).  What I was talking about was when the packages and/or
distfiles are made available on CD-ROMs or from ftp.FreeBSD.org.  For the
latter, I suppose we could just have a pkg-message saying where the SRPMs
may be found.  What about the former, the CD-ROMs?
