For LICENSE and LICENSE_NAME you can use arbitrary strings. In my case I
used the word 'clause' because it is a clause added to GPLv2 which is the
main license, but in your case, since I believe the text you posted is the
full license, I would use the word 'license'; thus I would define
LICENSE=3D IOZONE
LICENSE_NAME=3D Iozone license
Or something similar. But choose the words that make more sense to you: you
surely know the software better than me.
About LICENSE_PERMS, it looks right to me, but again I am not a lawyer.
LICENSE_FILE seems wrong to me. I assume that your distfile is
https://www.iozone.org/src/current/iozone3_493.tgz .
In that case I think you should define
LICENSE_FILE=3D${WRKSRC}/docs/License.txt
More generally, a path starting with ${WRKSRC} using .. to get out of
${WRKSRC} seems a bad idea to me. Moreover I don't see the need for
// instead of /.
Cheers,
Lorenzo Salvadore
