Change LIC_CHKSUM_FILES to License. Some files are BSD clause 3
Changes affecting build procedure
An installer can now combine leap seconds with use of the backzone file,
e.g., with 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone REDO=posix_right zones'.
The old 'make posix_packrat' rule is now marked as obsolescent.
(Thanks to Ian Abbott for an initial implementation.)
Changes affecting documentation and commentary
A new file LICENSE makes it easier to see that the code and data
are mostly public-domain. (Thanks to James Knight.) The three
non-public-domain files now use the current (3-clause) BSD license
instead of older versions of that license.
tz-link.htm mentions the BDE library (thanks to Andrew Paprocki),
CCTZ (thanks to Tim Parenti), TimeJones.com, and has a new section
on editing tz source files (with a mention of Sublime zoneinfo,
thanks to Gilmore Davidson).
The Theory and asia files now mention the 2015 book "The Global
Transformation of Time, 1870-1950", and cite a couple of reviews.
The America/Chicago entry now documents the informal use of US
central time in Fort Pierre, South Dakota. (Thanks to Rick
McDermid, Matt Johnson, and Steve Jones.)

localtime no longer mishandles America/Anchorage after 2037.
(Thanks to Bradley White for reporting the bug.)
On hosts with signed 32-bit time_t, localtime no longer mishandles
Pacific/Fiji after 2038-01-16 14:00 UTC.
The localtime module allows the variables 'timezone', 'daylight',
and 'altzone' to be in common storage shared with other modules,
and declares them in case the system <time.h> does not.
(Problems reported by Kees Dekker.)
On platforms with tm_zone, strftime.c now assumes it is not NULL.
This simplifies the code and is consistent with zdump.c.
(Problem reported by Christos Zoulas.)
Changes affecting documentation
The tzfile man page now documents that transition times denote the
starts (not the ends) of the corresponding time periods.

(Thanks to Kees Dekker.)
'date' no longer sets the time of day and its -a, -d, -n and -t
options have been removed. Long obsolescent, the implementation
of these features had porting problems. Builders no longer need
to configure HAVE_ADJTIME, HAVE_SETTIMEOFDAY, or HAVE_UTMPX_H.
(Thanks to Kees Dekker for pointing out the problem.)
Changes affecting documentation
The Theory file mentions naming issues earlier, as these seem to be
poorly publicized (thanks to Gilmore Davidson for reporting the problem).

Changes affecting code
The time-related library functions now set errno on failure,
and some crashes in the new tzalloc-related library functions
have been fixed. (Thanks to Christos Zoulas for reporting
most of these problems and for suggesting fixes.)
If USG_COMPAT is defined and the requested time stamp is
standard time, the tz library's localtime and mktime functions
now set the extern variable timezone to a value appropriate
for that time stamp; and similarly for ALTZONE, daylight
saving time, and the altzone variable. This change is a
companion to the tzname change in 2014h, and is designed to
make timezone and altzone more compatible with tzname.
The tz library's functions now set errno to EOVERFLOW if they
fail because the result cannot be represented. ctime and
ctime_r now return NULL and set errno when a time stamp is out
of range, rather than having undefined behavior.
Some bugs associated with the new 2014g functions have been
fixed. This includes a bug that largely incapacitated the new
functions time2posix_z and posix2time_z. (Thanks to Christos
Zoulas.) It also includes some uses of uninitialized
variables after tzalloc. The new code uses the standard type
'ssize_t', which the Makefile now gives porting advice about.
Changes affecting commentary

Inglis).

A lot of our recipes had short one-line DESCRIPTION values and no
SUMMARY value set. In this case it's much better to just set SUMMARY
since DESCRIPTION is defaulted from SUMMARY anyway and then the SUMMARY
is at least useful. I also took the opportunity to fix up a lot of the
new SUMMARY values, making them concisely explain the function of the
recipe / package where possible.

Also, every license with Artistic should be gone through and noted as
