Bug#709365: lintian: check for standard license short names



* Clint Adams <clint@debian.org>, 2013-05-23, 15:58:
Really, though, would you prefer a blacklist instead?
lintian could warn on shortnames "BSD", "BSD3", "BSD-2", "BSD (2 clause)", "BSD License", "GPLv2", "GPL (v2 or later)", "MIT" and so on.

Sounds good to me.

FWIW, "BSD (2 clause)", "BSD License" and "GPL (v2 or later)" are not even syntactically correct, because spaces are not allowed in short license names.
