Hello;

I was just looking around FreeBSD's Wiki and I found a page
where ports with GPLv3 license are listed:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsAndGPLv3

While this list is necessarily incomplete, I would think
the right place to write the license would be in the
ports tree using the new LICENSE= tag.

I only looked a few but it seems like most of the ports
in that list don't set the value!

I suggest that committers enforce a policy of tagging
GPLv3 code when the port is updated.

cheers,

Pedro.
