Speaking as a ports-committer, I already had one or two instances of new
submissions where I evtl. got the submission polished up to
commit-quality, but then decided to ditch my effort because I couldn't
make heads nor tails of the license (especially more so for non-native
speakers). Another example while looking for advice was: "The license
was good enough for NetBSD, so it should be sufficient for us".
Indeed not a favourable situation.
