There is a total of 90+ licences, so how high is that limit?

What should I enter in that bug? I have just done a pin with some grep and
awk and for all I know it does not give the correct output.
I use the ARCHIVES.gz from the FTP site, so things are double. e,g, it
also has i386 and PPC and debug in it. When I compare to the ARCHIVES.gz
that comes with the distro, I still have a total of about 150 undefined
licences.
Again, I have no idea what I should put in a bug-report as I have no
insight in how SUSE/Novell looks at how what packages are included.
