3b14447c8b Revise and expand discussion of variables. Avoid the phrase "the user
accepting the license"; that sounds too close to a contract issue.
Pkgsrc's license framework is merely about not building a package with
a license not on the ok list by accident, and is not intended to have
any contractual effects.

Split comment about 'package user" into separate concepts of
installing binary packages and running programs in packages.

Add XXX about how DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES relates to the initial
value of ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES.
