The [Package 
Reference](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#package-Reference) of 
the Guix manual only says this much regarding package license:
```
The license of the package; a value from (guix licenses), or a list of such 
values.
```

But to me it is unclear whether it is applicable only to an installable (by 
`guix package --install PACKAGE`) package or is it also applicable to the 
`source` of the package (which can be obtained by `guix build --source PACKAGE`)

I got this question because there are some examples or demos in various source 
codes which use different licenses than the main (built) programs but are not 
built and installed at the end. Should the `license` field of such package 
definitions also include the licenses used by such unused demos or examples in 
their source codes?
