It doesn't have to be supported by tooling; a Wiki page similar to the
one that Fedora has (or just pointing to that) would be good enough.

The fixed license short names are a convention; if you use an unknown
license, you can still build the RPM. Some of the rpm checking tools
like rpmlint will complain though - I don't think anything like that
needs to be there for puppet modules, as long as the convention is
followed by people (and the ones not following will get a polite
reminder from whoever packages the module as an RPM)

Yeah, I mostly listed that for completeness - it's a very low priority,
as long a we can easily tell documentation files from 'normal' files
because of their name (again, based on conventions)
