OK, it now doesn't warn for bundle package. it still warns for 
nosource packages, though - the difference between those essentially 
is that "bundle" works as an umbrella for other packages, hence 
doesn't need a license field. But "nosource" means a stand-alone 
package, which needs a license field.

I suggest that system-tetex and tetex-macosx be changed accordingly.


Cheers,
