Hi!

I created a package for https://github.com/DISTRHO/DISTRHO-Ports.
I now wonder if I should submit a patch, because the licensing
situation is a mess, with several of the plugins having no information
attached at all, though most have at least a pointer to a repo that
claims a license (gpl2, gpl3, gpl3+, agpl3, MIT).

The original versions of all plugins have been created with JUCE, which
I though would require GPLing when using the free/personal license, but
at least currently does so only when exceeding $50k revenue
(https://juce.com/juce-6-licence).

So parts of this is Free Software, other parts are ... just technically
open-source. Would you accept this in Guix?
