Comment:

 FYI, I built MacPorts with @Danchr's excellent work related to
 issue:60315, and here's our answer:

 {{{
 $ port licensecheck ffmpeg
 --->  Checking license for ffmpeg
 Warning: "ffmpeg" is not distributable because its license "GPL" conflicts
 with license "OpenSSL": librsvg -> glib2 -> python27 -> openssl
 Warning: "ffmpeg" is not distributable because its license "GPL" conflicts
 with license "SSLeay": librsvg -> glib2 -> python27 -> openssl
 }}}

 After the addition of `license_noconflict openssl`:

 {{{
 VirtMacPro28-1006:~ chrisadmin$ port licensecheck ffmpeg
 --->  Checking license for ffmpeg
 "ffmpeg" is distributable
 }}}

 So my first thought is, we REALLY need to add Dan's `licensecheck`
 functionality to base. IMHO, I think we should strongly consider adding it
 to the pending release (albeit with the change to move license data under
 `_resources`), as the risk is minimal.

 As for `ffmpeg`, given the dependency chain, is the `openssl` license a
 problem in this case?
