Whitelisting a non-free license.
I actually think we should *remove* meta.license entirely (because it doesn't
provide useful info to users and tends to be wrong or incomplete anyway), and
replace it with attributes that have operational meaning:
People who do care about the exact license of a package should use a tool like

Please review calmly (I'm a nix-newbie) and tell me what to improve
and what you think about it.
I will add appropriate documentation in the PR + in the wiki if you
guys like this.
