Patents are a complicated topic, and their regulation varies depending on
jurisdiction. Patents are not necessarily related to the license and so
should not be connected to the license framework.
As a project we will officially remove all patent limitations within the
ports tree and leave it to the user or consumer to deal with their local
legislation to determine if they can use the software without legal
restrictions.
