Mostly because I have collected all the clear-cut cases first, missed a
few, and postponed others:

The binutils version depends on the toolchain, and the license changed
from GPLv2+ to GPLv3+ some time ago. I guess a mechanism to add version
dependent license information is needed here. For now this can only be
set in the BSP, where the Toolchain version is known.

Right, I wanted to question the Python-2.0 license.

The MIT license is listed because of the rapidxml-1.13 copy in
libs/geometry/doc/src/docutils/tools/doxygen_xml2qbk/contrib.
I didn't see any Python licensed code except the header file
boost/python/detail/python22_fixed.h, and that is from Python 2.2/2.2.1.
The python license changes (changed?) all the time, so I guess this
should be Python-2.2 or Python-2.2.1 instead.

It is not clear to me if we want to list custom licenses each with their
own name in the license field, or if there should be some categorization
or catch-all values instead.

This suffers from the same problem as binutils.

I just have missed these when preparing the review branch.
