Description George 2015-11-17 20:01:33 UTC 
textproc/s5 seems to note an incorrect license with LICENSE=BSD2CLAUSE

According to http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/faq.html, version 1.1 is 'public domain'

Thanks George, as this port is unmaintained, if you could attach a patch which removes the incorrect LICENSE definition (since we don't have a predefined license type for "public domain" at the moment, that would be appreciated.
Comment 2 Dmitry Marakasov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-12-29 14:15:34 UTC 
The source file clearly contains BSD 2-clause license and I think that takes priority over FAQ. I think an author should be contacted and asked to resolve this ambiguity.
