Elpa doesn't supply license information. The current importer pretends that
everything is GPL3, which is not true. The importer should not invent license
information.

Do you have examples of packages on ELPA that are not GPLv3+? I don’t
know if this is the case, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it had a policy
of requiring GPLv3+ given that Emacs itself is GPLv3+.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

The ELPA importer is also used for MELPA, which has no license
requirements. The package that motivated this patch is Deft, which is
MIT-licensed:
https://jblevins.org/projects/deft/
If GNU ELPA guarantees GPL3, we could keep the old behavior for that
but use #f for MELPA and stable MELPA.
Konrad.

Good idea. Commit 9bb1838c3f982dfb84ba24eb2f727cb39ee5805c does that.
Thanks!
