I just noticed that meta.license attributes specified using
stdenv.lib.licenses.* don't work, because meta attributes are not allowed to be
attribute sets.  (They can be strings, lists of strings or integers.)  Thus, for
instance, licenses specified in this way don't show up in "nix-env -q --meta
--xml" or in Hydra build pages.

What to do about this?  For now we should probably change the licenses in
pkgs/lib/licenses.nix to be strings.
