I don't think that it is right direction, just simple remove
from top level Makefile is enough. Major objection is that
'make install' register installed soft into /var/db/pkg (and
not build any tarball), so it is easy for user to remove installed
port later. There is no legal problem here. If user decide to
build port, he can register it.
