What if there were some blessed file (like README) that could be
checked?  I find a lot of distributions with a LICENSE file.  More
without, sure, but I think people would populate it if they knew it
was being checked.  You could make some educated guesses if it wasn't
in a standard format.  Hey, the languages detected isn't always 100%
accurate, does the license detector need to be?  Presumably this
information is mainly for fun...
