Yesterday, while upgrading my installed ports, I noticed a message in the output about LICENSE not being defined. I also see that there's now a bsd.licenses.mk and a bsd.licenses.db.mk in /usr/ports/Mk. I don't recall seeing those before, and don't know how long they've been there. Anyway, it looks like we're going ahead with this infrastructure, and I think that's a good thing. What actions do you need from me as a maintainer?
