Adding the license to the field with an appropriate comment would be
enough imho.  If upstream decides to make a new release, we can also
use that -- or alternatively bump to the commit.

I'm in the "let's wait and do the correct thing" camp.  Having one
commit to restrict the sources to the correct set would be more
justifiable than overreacting, particularly given the FSDG stance on
non-functional data.  That said, long-term this data needs to go :)
