Ports licenses - report 1

Hello,

During this period I've updated the FOSSology port (still a work in
progress) to version 1.0.0, removing a lot of patches they accepted from
me. Now it comes with an official post-installation script, so no
pkg-install is required.

It also has new identified problems (some solved but still not committed),
reflected in the log.txt.

In the next week I'll focus on manually adding 10-20 common licenses and
basic properties to the bsd.licenses.db.mk database, and adding LICENSE
variable to a few ports. Then it will be tested on an -exp build, and
hopefully committed.

The last step is required to be able to progress with the framework, and
test its features and limitations. When the port is completed, automatic
identification will take place.

Regards,
Ale
