Comment (by mohd-akram):
This particular issue was fixed by making libheif use kvazaar by default
instead of x265 in [e232b99c0167098352502ad5f853689934a906e2/macports-
ports]. Now we get:
{{{
$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v gd2
"gd2" is not distributable because its license "gd" conflicts with license
"GPL-3+" of dependency "gdbm"
}}}
AFAICT, this is coming from a perl build dependency somewhere in the tree.
I have opened https://github.com/macports/macports-infrastructure/pull/20
which should fix this issue for this port and others by only checking the
license of library dependencies. I've confirmed that it fixes it in this
case:
{{{
$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v gd2
"gd2" is distributable
}}}
