It is more acceptable to add the actual values of _LICENSE_PERMS_DEFAULT,
rather than the variable. If _LICENSE_PERMS_DEFAULT changes, and the
defaults are not acceptable anymore for that software, then it will still
apply to the software as an acceptable license.
IMHO, if this is defined within a port, it should be marked appropriately,
at exit.
