License issue with libXdmcp

[Miklos]

I ran into a license issue with a port for the first time and I couldn't really make sense of the wiki page regarding licenses.

http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsLicenseInfrastructure

]# make
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  License not correctly defined: for unknown licenses, defining LICENSE_PERMS is mandatory (otherwise use a known LICENSE)
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/libXdmcp.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this?

No problems here. Make sure your ports tree is up to date.

I am and it was a newly installed machine with portsnap run just before and after to make sure there was no outstanding issues.

I added

DISABLE_LICENSES=yes

to /etc/make.conf to continue.

I can confirm that this issue existed some hours ago. I can also confirm that it has been solved now.

See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=322436+0+current/cvs-ports ->

Log:
  Change license from X11 to MIT we do not have x11 in the database and x11 is a MIT license:
  MIT license / X11 license (from bsd.license.db.mk)
