Done. Let me know if there are any problems.

If anyone likes playing with the wiki, this page needs some updates:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Licenses

And we should ensure that our packages are putting licenses in
/usr/share/licenses/<pkgname>, not
/usr/share/licenses/custom/<pkgname>, as noted here:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5623
