I like this.

I  suggest to add my posting from yesterday ("multipath-tools 0.7.6
fossology license assessment") as "README.licenses".
With these changes, we'd be in a fine state for the time being.

Actual license changes can be considered for the long term, but don't
need to be - the current situation is complex but not actually
problematic. SPDX tags can be added to source files by and by, as we
see fit.
