Hi Bruno,

Let me put it another way.
How about diagnosing a missing License: when
the module is not a -test one?

If you'd prefer not to do that, I can easily convert
this into a syntax-check:

    $ git grep -L '^License:' modules|grep -ve '-tests$'
    modules/.gitattributes
    modules/COPYING
    modules/README
    modules/TEMPLATE-TESTS
