Re: Defining license for a NetBSD program

(...)

ok, I've looked at src code and it seams that 2 and 3 clause is present.
Should we use a comb:

Multiple Licenses
When part of a port has one license, and another part has a different
license, use multi:

LICENSE= BSD2CLAUSE BSD3CLAUSE
LICENSE_COMB= multi
LICENSE_FILE=${WRKSRC}/COPYING

?
