 It is interesting to note that when the pkgsrc machinery detects that one
 is about to build/install a package with license not among the default
 acceptable licenses, part of the advice reads:
 
 ... or add
 
   ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES= foo-license
 
 to /etc/pkg_install.conf.
 
 Note the deliberate space between the "=" and the license name.
 
 For whatever reason, I've habitually squashed that space whenever
 I've cut'n'pasted such an advice line to my "/etc/pkg_install.conf",
 so I've never noticed that it would cause a problem.
