Since License is not optional, it might be good to retain it explicitly
in the interface.  Otherwise you either end up distributing packages
without a stated license (which is bad), or you have to screen the list
of Classifiers for required elements.  The documentation for Classifiers
becomes more complicated as well, "multiple use but must include at
least one of ..."

You could recommend that the value used for the License field be the
final part of a 'License ::' classifier, for easy mapping between the
two.
