A few things - using "latest" for the distfile isn't going to work, as 
soon as they update the file it will break the port.

Also they ship a whole bunch of libraries without any licenses. For sure 
there is Apache and BSD code in there. I guess somebody could write 
Boston to the the GPL licenses, but the other libraries are totally a 
no-go without licenses.

Are they using the "commerical" version of Qt? Or maybe they just got 
liberal with it like they did the other stuff? I think the commercial 
version is different than normal people have, if not now then soon.
