I am very familiar with most of those cases (having been involved in
quite a few of them), so that's why I am not seeing the benefit, as it
can get very complicated very quickly. I am all for simplification, but
this looks like one of the cases of "hmmm, maybe not".

For the rest: I agree with Greg, let's focus on just the licenses, that
should already be more than enough work :)
