One of the issues I have with LICENSE is that I don't see anything about it in the porters handbook. Otherwise that would be an excellent place to tell maintainers of metaports not to license them. Also the tone is quite commanding. If it said "Consider setting LICENSE for this port", that would be more acceptable. Really, I think it should say "Please set LICENSE for this port, unless this is a metaport".= Stephen --lhEaixlgEO5GJ0oeGou1X2k6pXBUcknAk-- --XO7loCQvRSkgIRsSBWQxDlWHEUxj3bAsu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJX85qdAAoJECuXJ2rgj9mCFhEH/RV5N5WQT45VOMEjCYuM0LFU urU/vQ4Fl9I9CJnTzar+o9P8liaqf+uiOGi83YGMi0wrURBUK7mLUTk6+QD46gff zgfCRsLzXLfc1iLrE70H7gPifDZB2tdCJJvpyaJlmLieTTWoaWAW1ZqAsG8lw0v8 MxW+beI2kjCZl2SNvDc9MJW2hwcG4fF1k+ZyBc5HNbFBw22lXUjb443fKuIfBxrQ KwlM1SVUubakOEqJEyELyUPHzrUPhxFIRbs7AEpPBZia9od7mzVdc7YmxKXNEcik KeTJpmndQcH2AJp9/I32/bEuF42kN4DyIHdq4YzUNTigpfHzszOFZ9DauP6LJCg= =IhGK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --XO7loCQvRSkgIRsSBWQxDlWHEUxj3bAsu--
