Regardless of anything else, this warning reveals improper usage of
modules.

1. freetype is a [license object][1].
2. freetype is a [package object][2].

They are two different objects, so rebinding of variables is not
applicable. To resolve this particular warning, a [module prefix][3] should
be used. The [Guix idiom][4] is to (… #:prefix license:).

Hopefully, this resolves the actual error down the line. I have never
seen one like that.
