Correct.

The proposal assumes that the default case (no/empty mk.conf) produces only
binaries which can be publicly distributed around the world.  You have to
add stuff to PKG_DIST_LICENSES to make that more lenient.  (Right now, we're
too lenient by default.)

I'll actually edit the proposal to mention that a bulk package build should
be done using the environment variable MAKECONF=/dev/null.
