   Existing tools are fragile.
   
   * reformated license text
   * some licenses actually change (e.g. BSD, MIT include the copyright holder 
name)
   * use of modified licenses which take the text of an OSS license and add or 
change clauses, often making it not OSS
   * imprecise : GPL-2.0 != GPL-3.0 (in fact, they conflict!); "GPL 2 or later".
   
   For modified licenses, humans scan the first part and thinks it an XYZ 
license when in fact it isn't.
   
   The AL2 header is already great - it has a URI in it!
