Hi,
I found the changes made by Vasil Dimov (vd)[1] totally acceptable and if OSSP
project owner agree on that I can do the require changes on the ports and close
this PR asap.
The license section looks like something like this
LICENSE= UNKNOWN
LICENSE_NAME= unknown
LICENSE_FILE= ${WRKSRC}/LICENSE
LICENSE_PERMS= dist-mirror dist-sell pkg-mirror pkg-sell auto-accept

(In reply to Rodrigo Osorio from comment #1) Another option is to submit a new license type with the same permissions. Do note that ossp-uuid uses a different (ISC/0BSD-style) licence than ossp-mm, so I'm not sure if that changes your LICENSE_PERMS vocabulary. ossp-mm is /like/ BSD-4-Clause, but the fourth clause is replaced with basically the exact opposite (BSD-4-Clause says "no advertising the author", rse says "you must advertise me"). whoops enter too soon ...But if you keep this in mind then yeah that looks fine. Also note that ossp-mm's licence is unique, so it makes little sense to lift it out. OTOH ossp-uuid's licence is used more widely across FreeBSD ports (#281426).

Update it to keep the correct permissions granted by the OSSP license without confusing the user pretending this is a BSD one.
