Hi Mark! Funny you submitted this, I was working on the same package about an 
hour ago. We must be reading each other's minds. You got significantly farther 
than I did. One thing I did do differently was that I extended the list of 
licenses to include the ones mentioned in the comment.

I'll look at your patch, and hopefully this will be ready for core-updates. 
Thank you :)
