Comment (by pulkomandy):
"freeware" is not a license. Is it free only for personal use? For both
personal and professional use?
You can include a custom license in the package, but it has to have a
different name for each package because it's rarely the exact same terms.
The license should go in data/licenses inside the hpkg file, and usually
in these cases we give it the same name as the package. It should include
the exact license terms of the original package (usually there are some
words in the README or user manual about what you can or can't do).
