Can we have the FDL in a separate file and separate license action?  Having
all the licenses mushed up together is painful.

If all instances of the FDL are identical, then we should check it in only
once.  Perhaps into a top-level "licenses" directory?

For the existing (i.e. pre-my-changes) use of the FDL, there are two
versions:

.../gcc45/gcc45.license     GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2

.../gnump/gmp.license       GNU Free Documentation License
                            Version 1.3, 3 November 2008

.../libidn/libidn.license   GNU Free Documentation License
                            Version 1.3, 3 November 2008

.../sed/sed.license         GNU Free Documentation License
                            Version 1.3, 3 November 2008

Having no idea how to determine what version all these other .license files
should use, I just punted and picked the 1.2 version for each one.

We certainly could put them both in a top-level "licenses" directory.

Could you describe how you would modify the license action in the
.p5m file to pick up the licenses from two places?

For example, ...components/sed/sed.p5m currently has:

license sed.license license=GPLv3

Say we added .../licenses/fdl-1.2 and .../licenses/fdl-1.3 (or some such names)
to the Userland workspace, how should that license action be changed to pick up
.../licenses/fdl-1.3 as well as sed.license ?
