>Description:
The explanation of the different permissions in bsd.licenses.mk
reads quite counterintuitive and is probably often misinterpreted.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the sections "Available components for LICENSE_PERMS" and
"Notes about permissions" in bsd.licenses.mk.
>Fix:
I propose to commit the attached diff to Mk/bsd.licenses.mk

 # Available components for LICENSE_PERMS:
-# dist-mirror	- No free redistribution of distfile (like FTP mirroring; RESTRICTED).
-# dist-sell		- No selling of distfile (like in CD-ROM; NO_CDROM).
-# pkg-mirror	- No free redistribution of package (like FTP upload; NO_PACKAGE).
-# pkg-sell		- No selling of package (like in CD-ROM; NO_CDROM).
-# auto-accept	- If license is accepted by default, without presented
+# dist-mirror	- Redistribution of distfile is permitted
+# 				  (like FTP mirroring; port is not RESTRICTED).
+# dist-sell		- Selling of distfile, e.g. on CD-ROM is permitted
+# 				  (port does not need to set NO_CDROM).
+# pkg-mirror	- Free redistribution of package is permitted
+# 				  (like FTP upload; port does not set NO_PACKAGE).
+# pkg-sell		- Selling of package is permitted, e.g. on CD-ROM.
+# auto-accept	- License is accepted by default, without presented
 # 				  agreement, unless the user defines LICENSES_ASK.
 #
 # Notes about permissions:
-# - Permissions use a default-deny policy.
+# - Permissions use a default-deny policy (e.g. not setting "dist-mirror"
+#   means it is automatically excluded).
 # - Components can be negated by prefixing them with "no-" (like
 #   "no-pkg-sell").
 # - In case a component is present and also excluded (i.e. no-dist-sell and
