Right... I dropped the ball on this one.

The discussion revealed some issues:

- the notion of license summary is misleading. I should replace it with 
something else. as it's more a pointer to the real license text. Some people 
mentioned a license grant. So, what should I replace "license summary" with ? 
reference, pointer , grant ???

- Currently, the pointed to license should have the complete text available in 
Software::License. This would require new PRs.

- On the other hand, since we have a pointer to a license text, requiring the 
license text to be provided by Software::License may be overkill. I could also 
use the test pointed to. But this would work only on Debian. On the other 
hand, it's better than nothing.

Thoughts ?

All the best
