PERMIT_PACKAGE=no makes sense where a user building a port would be in
compliance with an explicit or implicit license. For example, a freeware
program that implicitly grants the right to download it, but no right to
redistribute, meaning a binary package would be off the table but a port
might be okay.

I (speaking personally, not for the project) would not be comfortable
importing something where a user who builds the port is likely to be
violating the license.

I don't know if that is the case here.
