Considering that Debian will likely want to see this resolved as well, and that you are planning to update the port, couldn't we set PERMIT_PACKAGE=no until the situation is cleared up? We have ports in much worse licensing situations that do the same (look at sysutils/firmware/ulpt for example...)
