In what manner? Ports downloads the sources on your behalf, applies
patches as the ports maintainer sees fit, compiles and installs qmail.
There is *no* redistribution by ports, so none of the discussions on
this matter come into play. While I like ports, I don't use it for
qmail or any other djb-ware for that matter.

Ports doesn't distribute, so your question is separate to that.

Maybe, but if ports downloads from cr.yp.to and doesn't redistribute,
that's a matter between Ryan and the ports maintainer.
