Packages licenses

[Xose Vazquez Perez]

hi,

I have extracted the 'License' tag of all RH9 packages, sorry FC1 is not here yet.
And I see a chaotic style, duplicates... A  clearer policy and style should be used
in Fedora.

idea?
Maybe, rpmbuild should check 'License' against a list of OSI compatible licenses,
otherwise a -nocl (--noOSIcompatiblelicense) flag should be used to build it.
