If software authors do not define any license for their software this means
that it is free and open to use by default. An alternative explanation is that
they don't care or didn't think about license, which also means that they
didn't restrict use of their software.

FreeBSD license LICENSE=NONE should reflect the above and should default to
permissive PERMS.
