The server answer has a licenseURL field ... which we could fill in for
all apt results ... flashplugin nonfree has that licenseURL set
properly as the plugin finder wizard must display it ... and afaik
that is the only plugin available in mozillas database for linux :).

Anyway, adding new fields to the result (which is RDF) is possible
without breaking the official plugin finder wizard ... so in case we
cannot reuse the licenseURL field, we could easily introduce something
new.
