OP A antolap Jun 20, 2012 Thread Starter #4 I think there's a problem. In some Makefiles there isn't a LICENSE string, for example editors/vim. So the list generated by find is not complete.

J JamesElstone Nov 7, 2012 #6 If a port does not specify a LICENSE string, what is the license of the port? is BSD 2-clause assumed, or BSD 3-clause if older?? James

wblock@ Developer Nov 7, 2012 #7 If a port does not specify a license, you have to check the application's source files or web site.
