Re: Defining license for a NetBSD program

Hello Lorenzo,

For what I understand, COPYING file includes a BSD2CLAUSE license and a
addenda
"This product also contains software developed by other people, etc" and
both are
defined in port by LICENSE definition and LICENSE_FILE that adds additional
info to license.

LICENSE=        BSD2CLAUSE
LICENSE_FILE=   ${WRKSRC}/COPYING

Am I wrong?
