Because the license can be rewritten by the tool that creates the .po from
the .pot, and sometimes by the editor. Kabel does if you click on an option.

I haven't even looked at what license the files I'm translating have. They
should have "same license as the .pot", but I do not verify.

Unless the project tell us to verify the license and use one, I really do
not care.
