Hi Andreas,

in the case of this Bioconductor package, perhaps you can remind the following
guidelines to the authors :)

  The "License:" field in the DESCRIPTION file should preferably refer to a
  standard license (see opensource.org or wikipedia) using one of R's standard
  specifications. Be specific about any version that applies (e.g., GPL-2).
