Its linux so its GPL. 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. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
