Hello again! Looks like both of your projects in FreeBSD Ports were listed as "BSD" License. This project includes a LICENSE file, but instead of being BSD licensed that's actually the ISC License!

http://opensource.org/licenses/ISC

I assume that's a mistake. Not trying to be a pain; you just showed up twice during this audit I'm doing :-)

Thanks!

Ouch, is this the correct one? (BSD 2-clause)

Yes, that's BSD 2 Clause. However, another FreeBSD ports guy pointed out that you're a big OpenBSD fan and -- I did not know this -- OpenBSD prefers the ISC license for many years now as it's a cut-down BSD license. So it's not totally inaccurate to say your project is "BSD" licensed as it is in spirit, but not in name. And that's not a huge deal.

If you want to just roll with OpenBSD's ISC license that's cool. We're really just nit-picking at this point and I'm just trying to clean up some classification in my free time.
