p5-test-indistdir, p5-time-format: Fix license
| Reported by: | ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt) | Owned by: | dbevans (David B. Evans) |

| Port: | p5-test-indistdir p5-time-format |
Description
p5-test-indistdir and p5-time-format specify their license as unrestricted but this is not a license name known to MacPorts:
"p5-test-indistdir" is not distributable because its license "unrestricted" is not known to be distributable "p5-time-format" is not distributable because its license "unrestricted" is not known to be distributable
Is there a known license name that can be used instead?
According to https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::InDistDir p5-test-indistdir is actually under the WTFPL-2 license (which is known to MacPorts).
According to https://metacpan.org/pod/Time::Format p5-time-format isn't under a specific license, but maybe Permissive would be appropriate?

Replying to ryandesign:
The part requiring that "no more-restrictive license is applied" makes it GPL-incompatible at the very least, so Permissive alone is not right.
