It's trivial (I always overwrite it to simply put "*"), but why someone
installing a package not using that FREE licenses will need to edit it?
How does it "promote" free software? I don't think making installation
of other software more difficult is the right way to promote it.
What apart of showing users a new "error" by default adds this decision?
I think the way to promote free software is to be sure our virtuals list
free alternatives in first time, that way people will get free software
when packages are providing same functionality.
But feel free to do what you prefer, I haven't ever expended much time
in all this licensing stuff (even preferring free licenses) and I know
how this usually end (this reminds me last time I talked with an openBSD
developer that works with my father about how he disagrees with GPL and
similar :P)
