You're not the code's author either. You can't change the license.
We _do_ distribute this. bento may have already finished building a
package for this by now, this will also now show up in the (for-sale)
FreeBSD 4.3 cds. We also will be mirroring the tainted distfile now.
My point is that the porter(of the vrrp code, not of the FreeBSD
port) screwed up by not copying the license over (or including it
or even mentioning[1] it). He's making available a distribution of
the code w/o respecting the original license. He is the only one
that can fix this unfortunately.
The project is now just as guilty.
