Thanks for your feedback Alex.
I have seen some other packages including multiple licenses in the list of
licenses,
so I took that approach.
I also took the liberty of taking your description, which seems to also be
coming directly from the jq website.
While digging into the valgrind issue, I found out that documentation is
currently not being generated;
after looking at what was required for this to work, I worked things out up
to the ruby-sass gem; I might finish
it if I have more time in the near future, but for now;
... jq, attempt two.
