Besides Joerg's point (which is quite valid), the larger issue is that pkgsrc is not currently in the business of deciding if licenses are ok. So you could ask the upstream if they have been blessed as Open or Free by OSI or FSF, given that they've chosen a non-standard license. If they have a non-standard non-approved license, they should expect to be treated as non-standard.
