Within my YiPI project I keep track of roughly 28.000+ packets from 300+ 
repositories from the openSUSE universe.

I have just compiled two lists that might be helpful concerning the 
license discussion. You can find them at

- http://www.vorkon.de/vkd/vkd-vorkon-yipi/OS_license_types.html
  This list shows existing different license tags (from example RPM
  packages). The links lead to information pages where you can find
  detailled (German) information about a project package. By clicking
  on "Homepage" you can have a quick look at their project homepage
  where you usually find some license information.

- http://www.vorkon.de/vkd/vkd-vorkon-yipi/OS_RPM_licenses.txt
  An alphabetical list of the 28.000+ packets with their licenses.

As you can see there is a zoo of licenses :-)
