>Description:
In the new LICENSE support, the acronym used by the ports tree to denote the Apache License is ASL.
This is wrong as the official name of the license doesn't carry the word source in it.
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html

The correct acronym, as referred to in Apache Projects, is "AL2".

Please note that there is also Apache License 1.0 and Apache License 1.1.

Replacing this is not urgent but it should be done.
