 It seems that there are some projects which are not purely Open Source,
 and as such we should be listing the licenses somewhere in the
 documentation.

 So we should:
 1. Define how each project should describe their license. I assume as a
 HTML snippet?
 Update http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GISVM_Build#Writing_docs

 2. Incorporate into the documentation build process.
