The plain
  Requires: licenses
can cause invalid licenses when another version of the package
(with different licenses) is installed but the licenses package
is not upgraded accordingly.
I am speaking about the run-time system, not the build-time system.

But even a strict
  Requires: licenses = 1.2.3
where 1.2.3 is the exact version of the licenses package which
was used during build-time may cause problems:
Assume there are two packages foo and bar which both use the
license batz in licenses 1.2.3 but then license batz is upgraded
and also package foo is upgraded (using the upgraded license batz
in licenses 1.2.4).
Then there would have to be licenses 1.2.3 (for package bar)
and licenses 1.2.4 (for upgraded package foo) installed.
 

Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
