And yesterday you claimed it was on the CD.

We include a wrapper for it in the ports tree because they have a
non-discretionary licence.  I've said this three times now, and won't
say it again.

But we don't accept that.  Therefore, in respect of your wishes, we will
instead just let users get the unmodified package from you.

Sorry Darr, er, Dan, but that is just how it is going to be.  We don't

make it fit into OpenBSD better.

We don't care.  Just please go away.
