Tested. First set up remote publisher to query. Then 'pkg info -r <packagename>' to ensure it contacts the remote or alternate repo. If that works as expected, then 'pkg info --license -r  <package-name>'. This reads it from the alternate server.

pkg -r --license does not show remote license after system was rebooted.

The license is saved in a cache file in /var/pkg/license/package_name at shutdown time. After the system is started, pkg -r --license makes no network request to obtain the license. Instead it serves it from the cached file, which can get outdated in case a package is updated and it has a modified license.
