No warning because the compiler has no way to know you don't want to do that. license is a field, and fields don't have a specific type except for convention.
package-home-page will read a field from another object, return a perfectly valid Scgeme object (a string) and Scheme is happy to put it in the license field. Why would it care? (:
It fails much later when something tries to read the license field and gets a string it treats as a license object.
