Does any of this really matter?

I'm all for adding any old blasted license to the common-licenses
package. Why not collect all the licenses in one place, to make
comparisons easy?

Heck, I'm all for throwing the MicroSoft EULA into common-license
package. No one in their right mind would release software with it as
their license, but we can include it too! (Well, probably not -- they
might get upset with us about copyright issues; cf bugtraq.)

Or, perhaps, more pragmatically -- if more than one package uses a
license, keeping a copy in common-license would allow for saving hard
drive space for those users with multiple of those packages installed --
and everyone else would lose perhaps 4k with each new license.

That doesn't seem too bad.
