That sounds pretty good to me, Judd. I think risking a bit of
complication when it comes to licenses is probably a good thing seeing
as they are one of the more serious things we have to worry about.
Also, Judd, while you are here I don't suppose there is any chance of a
JV-decree on the use of license in AUR PKGBUILDs, it's driving me nuts!

Yea, we've thought about that. Currently, the winning idea is one where
we provide a "licenses" package that includes all the standard F/OSS
licenses out there. Then the PKGBUILD's license array can included one
or more of these (some software is multi-licensed).
If a piece of software has a custom license, then we could write
something like "custom" in the license field and include the license
itself in /usr/share/licenses/{pkgname}.
Thoughts?
that sounds do-able. I just hope things dont get too messy (or too
unnecessarily complicated) around here...
