Comment (by kencu):

 It's not under one license. As much as possible, when I started this as
 "snowleopardfixes",  I went for Apple Open Source origins. When it was not
 possible to find, or use, AOS, then OpenBSD-origined files were used. Some
 of them were written by Chris, Michael, Mihai, Christian, and I.

 Then TBH all of us have gone back and edited most of the files at various
 times, so there is no one clear authour to almost any of them any longer.

 All of them however, AFAICT and to the best of our ability to determine,
 have permissive licenses that should be comfortable for users.

 None of them are GPL-anything, and the term GPL does not appear anywhere
 in the repository for macports-legacy-support.
