Ok, as there is currently a lot of work going on for GLEP 23
(licese based visibility filtering aka ACCEPT_LICENSE) the topic of
license groups came up, in particular the way how they should be
(technically) defined.

The simplest way is a line based format
        <groupname> <license1> ... <licenseN>
however this doesn't allow for any addition of metadata (for example
descriptions to explain the purpose of a group), these (if wanted) would
have to be defined in another file. The alternative would be to use a
more complex file format, for example so called ini-style

[groupname]
licenses=license1 license2 ... licenseN
description=Sample license group
constains_stupid_licenses=1

So what do you prefer?

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
