This is an example from /usr/ports/x11/xsel-conrad/Makefile:
LICENSE= xsel-conrad
LICENSE_GROUPS= COPYFREE
LICENSE_NAME= xsel-conrad license
LICENSE_FILE= ${WRKSRC}/COPYING
LICENSE_PERMS= auto-accept dist-mirror dist-sell pkg-mirror pkg-sell
I'm not sure it's perfect port maintainer Makefile practice, but it
works, and it's a lot better than no license information at all in my
opinion. I'd suggest checking that Makefile to see where in the Makefile
to put it.
. . . and if anyone who is more knowledgeable about this stuff than I am
sees something wrong with that Makefile, please let me know.
