WITH_BDB6_PERMITTED is pretty unnecessary, AFAICT; bsd.licenses.mk is the right way to handle license selection. I've opened a phabricator review (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D10669) to just simply remove it, but because bsd.mk is convoluted I'm not entirely positive that this change has no other side effects.
