I'm not concerned (at the moment, anyway) about needing to show multiple licenses or license links. I just don't see how we'd implement the scenario I described under your proposal. (To be clear, I'm all in favor of ridding us of magic variables.)

Currently WixStdBA has two special controls for displaying a license (EulaRichEdit and EulaHyperlink). The default themes for WixStdBA/mbapreq use only one of them. That's what I meant by saying the developer will need to disable the default URL link.

Currently, the license gets set automatically when pulling in a .NET Package from NetFxExtension. I thought it would be a good idea to figure out how to keep that working without using the binder variables.

I figure that needing to show multiple licenses is rare. Developers can always combine all the licenses into one file, right? They can also customize the theme.

    Which is the "default URL"? First? I suppose that would work, as
    long as @After is used correctly. (To be clear, this isn't a real
    world problem [yet] because in this case the packages are mutually
    exclusive and have the same license.)

    Ugh. Force the user to customize the UI to disable the default
    URL link, and use the new ability to conditionally hide controls
    to show the right license?

        Since we're talking about breaking changes in v4.0, I sent a
        pull request <https://github.com/wixtoolset/site/pull/35> to
        update the WIP
        
<http://wixtoolset.org/development/wips/4161-allow-more-than-one-mbaprereq/> 
about
        MBA prerequisites.  As mentioned in the WIP, the
        WixMbaPrereqPackageId binder variables (and its license
        friends) couldn't be removed in 3.x.  I updated the plan for
        v4.0.  Feedback?
        From the pull request:

        + * Figure out how to ensure there is at least one prereq
        package, at most one prereq package has a License attribute,
        and the type of the license attribute matches the type of
        WixManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost that was chosen.

        An important case where this won't work: Consider having two
        .NET packages, one the full redist and the other the Web
        package. The install conditions say "if the full redist is
        available, use it (i.e., dvd or /layout), otherwise use the
        Web page). Both need licenses.
