#70948: macFUSE is closed source, we should not package it

------------------------+---------------------
 macFUSE is binary-only non-commercial freeware starting with the 4.x
 versions.
 MacPorts should not package it, it exposes both us and our users to legal
 risks.

 For example, any MacPorts user in a company that installs the macfuse port
 potentially violates clause 4 of the
 [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/releases/LICENSE.txt
 macFUSE license]:

 {{{
   4. Redistributions in binary form, bundled with commercial software, are
 not
      allowed without specific prior written permission. This includes the
      automated download or installation or both of the binary form in the
      context of commercial software.
 }}}

 MacPorts definitely fulfills the "automated download or installation or
 both of the binary form" part of this. "in the context of commercial
 software" is not well defined, and might well be understood by a court or
 lawyer as "in the context of a company that develops software".

 I realize this will break many ports that currently depend on macFUSE, but
 I don't see good alternatives. We still have the osxfuse port that
 packages the old 3.x version that seems to be open source.
