John, your hyperbolic statements here suggest that you're getting worked up. I
would ask that you take a step back and a deep breath and/or a nice sandwich
before posting more replies. I'm going to take the sandwich route myself.

John, do whatever makes you happy. I stand behind the decision to install a
copy of the license, as specified by the terms of the license. Using the
combination of LICENSE, LICENSE_FILE, LICENSE_NAME, and LICENSE_PERMS is not
mandatory, but honouring the terms of the license is.

Fabian, I and the port are not inventing a licensing scheme. We are installing
a copy of the license. I ask that you re-read this, because this whole thing is
coming down to you objecting to installing a copy of the license.

If you would like to involve portmgr then please, by all means seek their
input. For now I am going to let the port continue to install its COPYING file,
and I am leaving it with the port's maintainer to choose the location he
prefers to see it installed in.
