FreeBSD xmj 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #4 r248476M: Tue Mar 19 10:12:09 EET 2013     xmj@xmj:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/xmj  amd64
>Description:
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.licences.db.mk wrongly adds Apache License to the group of copyfree licenses, while the AL is among the list of licenses rejected by the Copyfree Initiative (see http://copyfree.org/rejected/ for the reasons). 



>How-To-Repeat:
Look both at the file in question (/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.licenses.db.mk) and at the link supplied above (http://copyfree.org/rejected).
>Fix:
This 'bug' can be 'fixed' by removing the COPYFREE word from line 73 of the file /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.licenses.db.mk

Patch attached with submission follows:
