libsigcxx2: check license situation with graphviz

Reported by: jmroot (Joshua Root) Owned by: mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)

Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: dbevans (David B. Evans)
Port: libsigcxx2

Description

GPL dependents of libsigcxx2 are not distributable currently because of the graphviz dependency. I don't know how libsigcxx2 uses graphviz, but if it's only running the executable to generate documentation images or something like that, it could set license_noconflict graphviz.

The dependency is likely limited to build-time, for docs.

But will take a look regardless. Thanks for the heads-up Josh!
