I meant to _move_ this check from mk/check over to pkglint in order to improve the build times. As long as the distfile stays the same, there's no point in running this check over and over again. I am not planning to do this in the next time though.

Why not? Ideally the license is prominently declared in the distfile, and only redundantly in the pkgsrc package. This redundancy can be cross-checked.

By the way, pkglint already checks that the license from the Makefile exists in /usr/pkgsrc/licenses.
