There is really no license information about this software. So
according to license framework of FreeBSD ports there isn't anything
wrong about adding 'LICENSE=NONE' in Makefile of this port.  And if it
is really problematic then what should be fixed is license framework
itself or behavior of poudriere about it rather than license
information of this port. Ad-hocism doesn't pay in the long run.
