The port itself is fine, the version in ports does not install any license. The redports log he looked at was based upon what he submitted, but it is not what I committed. So for the port there's nothing to do ATM. The problem with the licenses framework and the linuxulator ports is, that the licenses framework assumes, that PREFIX/share does not need to be removed (it needs to be removed in the linuxulator case). My workaround was to specify NO_LICENSES_INSTALL=yes. Another problem is probably, that the licenses framework writes the license to WRKDIR/license_name and the linuxulator ports install everything from WRKDIR except "WRKDIR/.*". This way we get PREFIX/license_name, again without a PLIST entry like the PREFIX/share directory. My workaround was to do a RM PREFIX/license_name in post-install. I submitted a PR regarding the deficits of the licenses framework when used in linuxulator ports.
