The Apache License is BSD like, so you don't need to distribute the
source (if I read it correctly). If in doubt, add the source RPM to
the port too (like we do with the GPLed linux-stuff).
I hope you install into LINUXBASE (linux libs should go there) and not
into LOCALBASE (you may get problems when FreeBSD native programs try
to use linux libs which are installed into LOCALBASE).
Bye,
Alexander.
