this should not be ignored; sooner or later things will get nasty ...

The sooner FreeBSD gets rid of Linux-based software (apps, tools) in its ports,
the better. The FB Foundation and Core Team should enact a plan.
ports are not software itself. ports are set of tools to build/install
someone else software. FreeBSD doesn't force you to install any ports, and
core system doesn't consist of linux software at all.
It is not the FreeBSD and core team responsibility of what ports you are
using. Appropriate licence files are put in ports tree.
This should actually happen regardless of MS in the shadows and validity of
their claims.
Why?
Core system and ports are two clearly separate things.
