My point was that lack of limitation is not the same as affirmative
permission.
I unpacked the current portaudio-devel, and found LICENSE.txt. It looks
like a free license, granting the usual permissions. I copied it to a
file and removed the comment syntax, and then ran wdiff -3 against all
the existing licenses. The shortest diff (ls -lS), more or less, is to
/usr/pkgsrc/licenses/mit:
======================================================================
[-The MIT License-]{+PortAudio Portable Real-Time Audio Library
Latest version at: http://www.audiomulch.com/portaudio/
<platform> Implementation+}
======================================================================
[-<year> <copyright holders>-] {+1999-2000 <author(s)>+}
======================================================================
{+Any person wishing to distribute modifications to the Software is
requested to send the modifications to the original developer so that
they can be incorporated into the canonical version.+}
======================================================================
So if this is unchanged, it should just get LICENSE=mit.
My hackish script to find the closest match:
----------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
set -e
LICENSE=$1; shift
if [ x"$1" = x ]; then
echo "usage: find-license license-file"
fi
ALL=$(cd /usr/pkgsrc/licenses && ls)
DIR=LICENSE-$LICENSE
mkdir -p $DIR
cd $DIR
for l in $ALL; do
wdiff -3 /usr/pkgsrc/licenses/$l ../$LICENSE > $l || true
done
ls -lS
----------------------------------------
Also, it looks like expatobjc-license should be removed; wdiff -3 to mit
produces:
======================================================================
[-The MIT License-]
