According to SVN, tabthorpe@ added these licenses as a result of PR ports/151300 a couple of years ago. Maybe he should weigh in and tell us if making it more restrictive than the GPL was a mistake in the original PR that just carried over? If the latex licenses are indeed not defined correctly, they need to be fixed. I'd think tabthorpe@ would take the first crack at since he added them, but if he doesn't want to, then who should evaluate and potentially fix this?
