opensuse-bar is the place where our legal team can be met.
Myself I am none, but I am interested in the technical aspects of
implementing the advice given by legal.

I see a need for trackig these packages as non-oss. Having a repo called
non-oss is nice as a collection pool where all those packages end up, with 
devel projects and individual packages sitting in someone's home the
non-oss status is currently not trackable.

AJ: do you know if this is possible with package attributes?
Ciaran, Christopher, Susanne: does that make sense?

Depends on the exact license, I'd say. Only very few licenses would call
for a license popup.
