How about a variable in .info which identifies the type of license(s) used in the package to be built? Something like
LICENSE="free"|"non-free" or FREE_SOFTWARE="true"|"false" where "free" would indicate that the package only contains free software. The inclusion of this variable can be made optional. This will be transparent to those who want to keep using Slackbuilds the same way as before, but it will also provide utility to everyone. With only a modest effort from each maintainer, every user will be able to quickly check the license type of a package without chasing down the sources. Moreover, automated license management will become possible.
