I see two issues:

  1. The commit log doesn’t match the change.  :-)

  2. It’s on purpose that the constructor is not exported.  It’s so that
     genuine license objects have to be defined here.  (Likewise, record
     type descriptors like <license> are generally kept private to
     maintain encapsulation.)

I’m in favor of reverting.

What’s the use case, Simon?  (Apologies if I missed the discussion!)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
