#67989: legacy-support: license precludes distributable binaries; declare
license_noconflict, via pg 'legacysupport'?

---------------------+----------------------------
It appears that the use of `legacy-support` precludes binary distribution
for various ports, when it comes into play.
Examples:
{{{
"mysql57" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with
license "APSL-2" of dependency "legacy-support"
"gnupg2" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with
license "APSL-2" of dependency "legacy-support"
[...etc]]]
}}}
Given that `legacy-support` is a MacPorts component, would it be
reasonable to declare `license_noconflict` for it? (We'd want to do that
via PG `legacysupport` though, to ensure this happens automatically.)
