Ports _must_ have correct _licensing information_ (PERMIT_*).  Ports of
software that doesn't allow redistribution (e.g. Netscape) are perfectly
acceptable, although we of course prefer free stuff.  Common sense also
suggests to take the potential usefulness of a port into account.

By default all rights are reserved to the author, so if a distfile
doesn't contain any license we are denied redistribution and PERMIT_*
needs to reflect this.
