Add Facebook's PATENTS v2 license

I believe we'd need to have Facebook's PATENTS grant as a license in ports.
There's been some fuss about it with Apache Foundation banning all software
licensed with it, like React.js. More info on teh subject:

* https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-303

and

ans-to-companies/

We have archivers/zstd that only lists BSD2CLAUSE, but imho that's incomple=
te,
or at least not really BSD since there are additional restrictions (I'll be
filing a separate bug that adds this). ZSTD in the base contains the PATENTS
grant, though:

* https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/contrib/zstd/PATENTS?view=3Dlog

Attached is a patch that adds the license for ports.
