I've the mbrola package almost ready, just waiting for upstream to
possibly remove the patches. When I first updated mbrola in wip,
I made packages for the voices that are already in pkgsrc/audio:
mbrolavox-[en1|us1|us2|us3]. I now updated the makefiles to follow
the pkgsrc guide for projects hosted in git without a release nor
tag. Now, these voices have individual licenses which are basically
free of distribution for non-commercial use. The old packages use
the LICENSE string "no-commercial-use", and install the license
and readme files (some of the voices have the license in the readme
file) into the voice's dir. I'm doing the same, but it seems that
pkgscr is not happy now with the use of that string.

would it be better to introduce something like "mbrola-voices-license" 
and add the text the project is using as a licence (and maintaining the
individual licenses in the packages)?:

====================================================

This is not realy a license, because depends on the individual
licenses of each voice. Any advice? Should I just let the
no-commercial-use string of the old packages?

And by the way, packaging other voices is a matter of coping the
dir and change one string. The entire tar is more than 400MB, so
maybe this is a good opportunity to ask what voices people would be
interested in.
