Well this thread died a while back, but I thought I'd present these
not so wonderful statistics:
packages in current: 572
w/ license: 50
w/o license: 522

packages in extra: 2114
w/ license: 532
w/o license: 1582

packages in community: 1306
w/ license: 827
w/o license: 479

You would think devs would be leading the way, but that seems to be
quite false. Community and the TUs are doing way better here.

The quick script I used to find these numbers:
$ cat checklicense.sh
buildfiles=$(find -name PKGBUILD)

for file in $buildfiles; do
	unset license
	source $file
	if [ -z $license ]; then
		echo "$file"
	fi
done
