Then you could safely cherry-pick commits with compatible licenses,
without having to worry about the context in the project you're
cherry-picking from. It would also make it easy to audit the project:
$ git log | grep '^License:' | sort | uniq

I think Bradley Kuhn (say, where is ...) once proposed something
