I agree, but since
"[t]his product also contains software developed by other people, and you
are advised to read the various source files to read the full details
of the other licenses", I think you should also add more license as well using
LICENSE_COMB:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/makefiles/#licenses-license_comb

And maybe also add one more custom license file to include the acknowledgements
required by those additional licenses (or include them in some other way).

Cheers,
