Kris Kennaway 75cd827ca0 Add a note to committers to inform portmgr@ when adding a previously-
distributed port to this list.  We need to remove the distfiles and
packages of any erroneously-distributed packages so they do not persist
on the ftp sites.

*** NOTE TO COMMITTERS ***

*** If you are adding a port to this list that has previously been ***

*** distfile/packages can be removed from the FTP site. ***
**********************************************************************
Some of the ports in this directory have restrictive copyrights prohibiting
their actual redistribution on mass media. When creating compilations
of FreeBSD on such mass media, you should be sure and NOT distribute
the original source tarballs for such ports in your distfiles directory.
To do so will invite needless problems from the various parties involved.
Since those connected to the net will also be able to use the ports framework
to automatically fetch their own original sources and thus complete the puzzle,
the hardship is not as severe as it might otherwise be.
Such ports are listed below:
