I think it would be a big improvement over the status quo, even if the
only rule were dumb, simple equality: "Check whether all these
packages use the exact same license."

Even just that would probably help most of the people most of the time?


Mixing licenses, yeah I don't really know. I want to believe it would
be possible to help people get an approximately better understanding.
Maybe along the lines of:

  http://creativecommons.org/choose/

Of course yes that comes with a "no legal advice" disclaimer in section 4 of:

  http://creativecommons.org/terms

Regardless, I think there's a lot of space between the extremes of
ignorance and professional expertise. In that wide space, anything
that increases comprehension or even minimal awareness is helpful, I
think.

But I realize anything behind a simple license equality check is
beyond the scope of Racket, and is a job for some other organization.
