Just for the record, though, what I'm trying to say is that adding a license to an AUR package is *non-trivial*. What about dual licensed packages? Is it 'GPL' or 'GPL2' or 'GPLv2' ? Where do I find that info? What about custom licenses. What if it has 3 custom licenses. What if it has a common(ish) license that's just not there yet, do I add that as a custom license or not? It's complex. It's not as simple as just adding a line to the PKGBUILD. And if we force people to add "license=unknown" then we're not really forcing much except some extra typing.
