Hey,

I got another new port here, following license-scanner yesterday. I
discovered after playing around more with license scanner that the
identification rate can be enhanced by using updated data from the SPDX
Project. These files need to be processed by license-scanner to be
usable when scanning for licenses, but then can be used to recognize
more obscure or older licenses that are not built into the tool.

There's a few things I'm not sure about on this port, especially
whether having RUN_DEPENDS on license-scanner is actually correct,
given that these are only data created from what SPDX provides.

I'd appreciate any tests and feedback, it works on my amd64 machine
both for the port itself, as well as using its output to detect
licenses (an easy test is using lgpl 2, which is only detected once
the data is used).

Any feedback and suggestions welcome.

Martin
