Description of problem:
Here is a list of installed software on my Red Hat 8.0 machine grouped by
license type.  As you can see, terms like "GPL/LGPL", "GPL and LGPL" and
"LGPL/GPL" have identical meaning, yet sort into separate buckets.  The
licensing terms should be canonicalized so that one can more easily determine
how many packages are covered by which licenses.
