This doesn't make sense: the <pkg>_LICENSE field is a free-form text
field. You can put whatever you want in this field. Whenever possible,
we prefer to use the SDPX license identifiers
(http://spdx.org/licenses/).

Also:

$ git grep "LICENSE.*ISC"
package/at/at.mk:AT_LICENSE = GPLv2+, GPLv3+, ISC
package/bind/bind.mk:BIND_LICENSE = ISC
package/crda/crda.mk:CRDA_LICENSE = ISC
package/dhcp/dhcp.mk:DHCP_LICENSE = ISC
package/harfbuzz/harfbuzz.mk:HARFBUZZ_LICENSE = MIT, ISC (ucdn library)
package/libass/libass.mk:LIBASS_LICENSE = ISC
package/libconfuse/libconfuse.mk:LIBCONFUSE_LICENSE = ISC
package/libuv/libuv.mk:LIBUV_LICENSE = BSD-2c, BSD-3c, ISC, MIT
package/odhcploc/odhcploc.mk:ODHCPLOC_LICENSE = ISC
package/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.mk:PURE_FTPD_LICENSE = ISC
package/python-certifi/python-certifi.mk:PYTHON_CERTIFI_LICENSE = ISC (Python code), MPL-2.0 (cacert.pem)
package/sudo/sudo.mk:SUDO_LICENSE = ISC BSD-3c
package/tmux/tmux.mk:TMUX_LICENSE = ISC
package/wireless-regdb/wireless-regdb.mk:WIRELESS_REGDB_LICENSE = ISC
package/yajl/yajl.mk:YAJL_LICENSE = ISC

Great.

Indeed. Why would we want to have dead/unused code?

Best regards,
