From the comment in mk.conf[1]:
Packages with licenses that qualify as "open source"
according to OSI or "Free" according to FSF are not
marked with a LICENSE variable.
But from what I understand (and I hope that's correct) vim starting
with 6.1 is free software[2]. It says it isn't really copyleft, but
that isn't the requirement, right?
If I am not mistaken this means that the LICENSE variable should
therefore be removed.
