RFE: license metadata

[ben@…]

If DP intends to distribute binary packages, we'll run into some complex license issues, e.g.:

 http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html

If we're to keep track of these, it will be necessary to include a field for license type in the Portfile. Fink's example:

 http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/packaging/policy.php?phpLang=en#licenses

I expect there are many license issues in individual ports -- e.g. doubt that all GPL ports install the COPYING flie as required.

Make the list of bugs easier to scan.

Here is the current workaround for the Installer.app package target:

post-pkg {
    if {[file exists ${workpath}/${name}-${version}.pkg/Contents/Resources/English.lproj]} {
        set resources ${workpath}/${name}-${version}.pkg/Contents/Resources/English.lproj
    } else {
        set resources ${workpath}/${name}-${version}.pkg/Contents/Resources
    }
    file copy -force -- ${filespath}/License.html ${resources}
}

Added in r50801. For now the contents are unconstrained and nothing clever is done with the info (it's just displayed in port info output). We can change the former if it turns out to be necessary, and we'll definitely need to change the latter when we start building and distributing binaries.
