Some time last month, I did something like
  port info --line --license all | sort | uniq -c
to find out what licenses ports were using and then hunted down and
fixed some that were using non-standard names or formatting.

Ideally, we could have port lint print a warning if it sees a license
it doesn't recognize (or a port without a license line!). But this
might be difficult to achieve because the list of known licenses lives
in portmgr/jobs/port_binary_distributable.tcl, not in base or the
dports tree.

For that matter, I'm not sure what documentation we have, if any, about
what's supposed to go in the license line...
