Good catch, thanks.  I've verified the list against SPDX license list
and ::gentoo repo now, and removed "W3C-document" and "GPL-3-with-
autoconf-exception" that we (no longer?) have.

Removed.

Removed.

To be honest, I'm wondering whether copying the list from cargo-ebuild
is a good idea after all.  Perhaps we should just copy the most common
licenses (i.e. GPLs/BSD/MIT...) that are easy to match, and add other
licenses as we need them (and verify in the process).

I've created a PR to track the current status:
