I might be just awake, but this idea sparkles in my eyes with a "wow"
subtitle. It is a great idea, and even though it has some rough edges (for
instance we probably shouldn't accept all licenses per default -- you never
know what the future might bring) and can be extended (kinda virtual-like,
such as ACCEPT_LICENSES="freelicenses" which would embody all known free
licenses) it is certainly something to consider.
Is this the first time this popped up? If not, is there any progress into
creating a draft patch? Or a GLEP?
