            Bug ID: 195776
           Summary: License clarification needed
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

graphics/simage

This project is hosted at the same bitbucket account as graphics/Coin and
contains the same copyright name but doesn't have the same BSD 3-clause LICENSE
file.

The main LICENSE file appears to be an MIT license but doesn't have the
copyright notice paragraph, graphics/py-pivy from the same bitbucket account
also uses the same LICENSE file and is considered MIT.

Part of the simage code is covered by an MPEG Software Simulation Group license
which I'm not certain of a match in the current license list. It contains the
sentence "Commercial implementations of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video, including
shareware, are subject to royalty fees to patent holders."

https://bitbucket.org/Coin3D/simage/src/2c958a61ea8bdfb7f48bf079c899a52f7e92f33a/LICENSE.mpeg2enc?at=default

I expect something like the following should be added to
graphics/simage/Makefile

LICENSE_COMB=    dual
LICENSE=    MIT MPEG
LICENSE_PERMS=    no-dist-sell,no-pkg-sell
