Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 I'm not sure why the developers would oppose making their software easier
 to install. They distribute it freely via their web site; there would be
 no practical difference to them to also making it available via MacPorts;
 it would not affect their ability to specify the licensing terms. The
 license terms that they have specified
 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ state] that we may
 redistribute their software, and that they may not impose additional
 restrictions.

 If we were to add this to MacPorts, the license line would have to be
 corrected to CC-BY-NC-SA-3.
