The next crazy idea for #poudriere run for all #FreeBSD ports: require license to be defined by all ports.

cat >>make.conf
LICENSE?=NONE
LICENSES_REJECTED=NONE

The end goal is to have license information filled for all ports. In particular, it's important to identify ports which do not have clearly defined license, as these cannot be legally packaged and redistributed by the project, and pose legal risks to users too. The intermediate goal is to fill licenses for ports with a lot of consumers.

@AMDmi3 Is there a list of ports missing a license somewhere?

@mpts

find /usr/ports -maxdepth 3 -name Makefile -print0 | xargs -0 -n 128 grep -L ^LICENSE=

@AMDmi3 Great! I'll add it to the workshop todo list.
