The non-free world doesn't seem to use the same few licenses over and over
like the free world does. So I don't think listing the licenses would be
that useful. And why they are non-free - look at the DFSG. It's pretty
clear. It could possibly use some unofficial annotations about some of
the ramifications of the clauses - obeying US law is the only one that
comes to mind of the top of my head.
