Yeah, I see what you mean. Unfortunately there are no distribution terms that I
can find for the new version on Subsonic.org or in their forums, but the source
to 6.0 is also definitely not available from what I can see.

The README in the 6.0 archive does say "Subsonic is free software: you can
redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public
License.", true. The latest git tag in SF in the final GPL version 6.0-beta1,
so it could be argued he is in violation of that license by distributing 6.0
with that readme but not the corresponding source. I am more concerned about
the intention and less about the technical details. He has made his intention
to close the project clear despite the poor job of cleaning up after the old
license since that's likely just a leftover of whatever automation builds the
packages. That's why I removed it from my port as well. I'm happy to put up a
diff with that still intact if you prefer.

I would like to see this port updated to 6.0 with or without the license
removal since the 5.3 WAR distfile has become broken, as noticed by someone
else here: http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16590

Alternatively I could leave the port at the final definitely-GPL version 5.3,
but I will have to build a new WAR distribution from that source instead of
relying on the broken upstream distfile.

I also opened bug 213299 to the maintainer of www/subsonic-standalone to
clarify the license on that port since it has the same issue. That port still
lists LICENSE=GPLv3.
