No, wait. Probably you just misunderstood me. What I meant is something like: License: GPL or, if the case, License: GPL, MIT, ... If the license is free, but it's not a "standard" one, one could always write: License: see debian/copyright. I repeat, it's just for giving developers the chance to have a quick look of what the license is. If it's possible to have "custom" fields, I'll do that only on packages maintained by Debian-Med.
