How about:
  - fix up obvious problems in the packages before requiring changes in
    the license-bot to be stopping others from checking stuff in?

It isn't difficult to fix up 170 different packages and submit the
changes if your tool can flag them.  It's a pain, yes, but to expect
others to do the work for you when you changed the rules is a bit
unfair, don't you think?

Or, if it's too much of a pain, post the problem packages here, and have
others help you in fixing them.  170 packages could easily be divided up
and fixed up in a day by a small handful of people.

thanks,
