Right now, we can't do that because a package may have put the license
anywhere or specify an invalid license.
And the point is not that I can view licenses on my system, but that
they are easily available to any user. Writing a bash script or looking
it up by hand is not what I call "easily available".

What is the license field worth if we don't associate it with a specific
license file?
