But how exactly did you conclude those bits are irrelevant or wrong?
That's an issue I think, that we inject our own interpretation of the
licenses list and conclude of a resulting state.

I don't think that is correct, because some other people may or may not
have a different interpretation of irrelevance or wrongness.

Which is all the more a reason not to trust its output.

As such, I'd just let the user do their own interpretation of this.

BTW, that prompted me to resurect a small patch of mine I've had stashed
for eons here (I'll do a proper submission later:)
